Steve,
First, I want to pay you a visit one of these days with a grimy old machine so you can show / teach / tutor me in doing the magic you do to these machines.
Second, This machine is from the 1860s? So somewhere around a 155 ± years old. In that condition it couldn't have been used much, or if it was it was used very delicately.
Third, Do you have any idea what this machine / cabinet combo would have cost new in 1860?
and last but not least .... I wanna see your museum.
Joe
