thanks Rodney I'll try to get pics - haven't tried uploading any but I'll try. I can't wait to sew on these machines but probably better read up on where to put the oil and stuff first - the 15-90 I've sewn on (didn't think about the issue of oil!) and it did ok even though I found out it needed a new belt. it's set up in another cabinet I bought specially for it since I liked it so much. I can see this one being tougher when it comes to scratches - the shiny ones show so much. don't remember if this has a badge of not - think Singer was writting out with decals but not sure.
