Call me a traitor but I like the idea for a machine that is "over the hill". And sadly to say that there are machines past all hope because they are not singers. This one was a maybe. Not everyone has the $$ or connections to restore. If the machine was already rusted at half the amount you see, it was likely past its ability to sew or even be for parts. I like this instead of a the dump where it will not biodegrade! Yard decorations, I've seen tractors made out of some. One man stated that the machines were past hope of sewing as he was also a restorer and making a tractor (his brother's idea) was better than filling his barn with them. At least he didn't get good ones and make tractors. Combined two ideas decorating for some: sewing for her; tractors for him. Thanks for sharing.
