I've been haunting the yard sales and estate sale around here, and with one notable exception, I haven't found any sewing machines worth picking up. (Bought a 1889 VS2 in desperate need of a loving home and tons of TLC at that one) Most are mid-70s and later. It's like a wasteland here for machines, or else I haven't been finding the right places for them

Another source I've found to be helpful is a guy by the name of Mike Anderson...you can find him on ebay, (Wolfgang's Collectibles) or his email is

Thanks Charlee! I will try to contact Miriam and Mike and see what I can come up with.
One of the problems I'm having is that if I get a piece from each person, the amount I end up paying in shipping from everywhere on the planet ends up making the machines very expensive to restore. That's why I'm hoping to find someone who's got a good cache of stuff.
