Default Show and Tell - Spartan

It's show and tell time. I feel like a kindergartner. Usual story - a non-operating inexpensive machine I think I can rehab and flip. The armature was filthy, the plastic carrier was crushed on shipping, the machine was deligated to parts bin. One day it surfaced and I began rehab. Like many machines having little original attention it cleaned up very nicely. De-gunking, lubricating and scrounging a few missing parts made this little machine hard to let go of. It sews as well as any 66 class machine should, is as quiet as any of the 66 class. I took some pictures to list it for sale and thinking of a base price I decided I couldn't let it go for what it would sell for. So, the Little Spartan That Could may end up being my traveling, albeit, heavy, pseudo-featherweight. Do others have the same I-can't-let-go fault?
