Finally got some time to get these off my camera yesterday, but for some reason it wouldn't let me upload them. Seem to be working now, let's see...
The Rocketeer:

It's so nice to sew on. I'm keeping my eyes open for a small Singer cabinet for it now. I don't know where it'll go, but I will MAKE it fit! I have wanted one of these for SO long...
Here's the 99K - stiff with gunk when I bought it, just a little cleaning and now sews great! There's a few scratches on the bed but otherwise it's in really good shape, the decals are nearly perfect. The Rocketeer is the
coolest looking machine I have, but this one is the
prettiest.

And this just jumped into my arms at the thrift shop the other day. It was only $15 and I tried to leave it there. I tried really hard but I just couldn't. It's a Kenmore 158.16510 and weighs about as much as a six year old.

It's clean and smooth and it sews great. Doesn't need a thing done to it. I found a YouTube video of somebody sewing through five layers of leather with one of these. I couldn't find any leather to test on and briefly considered sticking my finger in there but then came to my senses, so I can't really vouch for this one's leather and/or finger-sewing prowess.
It's my first two-tone body machine - kind of hard to tell in the pic but it's sort of a cream and pale mint green. And I have absolutely no idea what I'm going to do with it, but I know I'll get way more than $15 worth of fun out of playing with it!
