Restoration - Howe (2nd one)
Hey folks,
Ok, here we have the just arrived Elias Howe "New Family" Model A machine which I have been entrusted with. The previous owner decided, after checking out my last build thread for the other Howe, that I would be a good place for this machine to find it's way to! I am SO appreciative of that attitude.
This unit has a couple of things different from the first machine and i will try to point them out along the way.
This machine is complete. Yes, complete. Boat shuttle, bobbin, slides, and unbroken stitch length adjustment arm should allow this machine to sew when finished!!!
Now THAT is packed!!!!
