The one in Seattle has easily over 200 machines. My mother and I got a few funny looks being in that store and just looking at the machines.
Few yrs ago I went to the store in Miami Beach --took pics and looked at machines -373 machines. Told QBd. too.
I could have spent hours. High end clothing store from the UK apparently. I remember I wrote that I couldn't buy anything because they never had anything big enough !!!! Most of machines came from England too.
I wasn't a vintage collector at that time but I think that trip planted the seed.
