Default Introducing "Shorty" - Wheeler & Wilson #9 Shortbed Handcrank

With the help (and prodding) of a fellow QB member, I picked this little gem up on Saturday.

I was on my way to Placerville to help my Knight move (soooooo tired and sore today....) so I have not had a chance to do anything other than take pictures and show it off a little.

ANY vestiges of desire that I may have felt to acquire a Featherweight have now been thoroughly erased.

This is a Wheeler & Wilson #9 Shortbed. It is 3" shorter side to side than a typical #9. Uses the same bobbins and needle.

This unit has not been oiled in at least 4 years according to the seller so is a little stiff and the bed has a break that I will need to fix (hopefully tonight)
