I started purchasing vintage machines last month in Sept. I now have 15 and 7 or 8 cabinets. I have started going through each one cleaning them up and then evaluating them to see which three or more? I want to keep for my various craft projects. I know a lot more now thanks to the peeps here and I am zero-ing in on the style I like and what I want each machine to do. I knew nothing last month and now I know just enough to be dangerous. LOL I could see myself keeping 30 or so around in various stages of repair, it's fun and it feels really good when one is finished and sparkly clean and you are the one that DID ALL OF THAT
