With every machine there is a story.
I was contacted by someone selling a machine. Sad story for us preservists out there. It was in sad shape. She offered it to me but even the blurry pictures told me to stay away as it had way too much work to do to it. I passed. The owner said that if I didn't take it, it was going to a dumpster. So I drove the hour, round trip and picked it up. The poor old gal has seen better days, and I am not sure that it will ever sew again. If it does, it will be a miracle. Behold, the National Rotary R-40 as I got it.

And yes, those are mouse nests and that is rust.
Does anyone have a manual for this machine?
There are more pictures on my FaceBook page.
