What???!!! you didn't. I consider
you to be "THE professional" when it comes to cleaning and restoring these fantastic old machines. I'm guessing that you decided to have the "painted over" areas stripped and re-plated? What was done to the original finish to make it look so good? Did you get needle & clamp? It looks like it. Have you sewn with it?
Ditto what Dianne said (Stunning......absolutely gorgeous!) many more adjectives as well. Amazing, Fantastic, Beautiful, Super etc. etc. So glad that you were able to be the one to get it and preserve it in all its glory (and appreciate it for its original purpose). Thank you for sharing with us not only these wonderful machines but knowing and answering questions about how they work.
