Part of my thinks those streamliners like your Brunswick are just plain ugly. Another part of me likes them, especially when they have nice deco details like the chrome nose on the Brunswick. I think it's the purposefully small wheel that never looks right to me. Like a bob tailed cat, they look like something's missing. I still haven't rounded up a good example for my herd. To me they're an interesting dead end in sewing machine design.
I have an older style Brunswick that I haven't dug out of storage yet. I know it needs new wiring among other things.
Is that condensation I'm seeing all over those machines? They wouldn't have been able to take too many more hot/cold cycles under those conditions.
