Default New to vintage machines

I've always hankered after a vintage machine. This week I took the plunge and bought two. I have a friend who served his time at the Singer plant at Clydebank who is going to service and replace any bits to make them pristine. He won't touch the cabinets, both of which have their respective keys. They also have various bits and pieces inside the cabinet and their[ATTACH=CONFIG]527880[/ATTACH] instruction booklets.

One is a 127 1910 model, the other a 28K three quarter sized 1902 build. Both machines have come from the same family. The new one belonged to the Grandfather, a former paratrooper and gamekeeper. The older one belonged to his son (so must've been second hand to him) which he bought for repairing his jeans. I was quite amused that they had both been 'mannies' machines.
I can't wait to try thrm both out.
