Joe - bit of misstatement on my part. I'm not so much thinking of parting it out as swapping parts from it to our other Red Eyes (which are in much, much nicer cosmetic condition) if needed. For instance, I might swap the presser bar with Colette's to make it compatible with the majority of the feet we have around here. Or the motor/electrical setup might swap with Claudette's since it's in much nicer shape than the one on that machine. Maybe turn the new one into a hand crank.
