Vridar-
Your so right, it is tough deciding which ones to keep and those needing a new home, especially when space is at a premium. I try to specialize on the machines I collect and use but it's tough, especially on the "bargains". Have fun restoring the 128.

[QUOTE=Vridar;6092645]Today I took time to see what I recently purchased at auction which the seller described as "looks positively dangerous." It came with an above average condition bent wood carrying case, original manual, the installment payment record, original purchase receipt (April, 1926), attachments. It is knee lever operated and the wiring "looks positive dangerous." However, after assuring myself the wires are not dangerously exposed I had to try it out. Voila, I love it. It is quiet and will clean up lovely. I have lubed the motor, oiled the innards and will clean it up when I quit enjoying it. And, rest assured I will re-wire but I'm waiting on some cloth-clad wire to approximate the original. I have fallen hard into the vintage addiction and promise myself and my spouse I am selling as I repair them. But, damn, it's hard determining which ones have to go.
