Default More graveyard rescues

So I happened to be in the neighborhood of a VSM graveyard. Found this fiddlebase vs outside.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]580421[/ATTACH] didn't look terrible.

66 looked worse and wouldn't turn more than a few degrees

[ATTACH=CONFIG]580423[/ATTACH] 99 was tolerable, kept inside, had most of it's bentwood intact, and had bits with it.

99 is now spinning freely, VS is turning nicely and the shuttle is liberated (alas, no bobbin in it). 66 is turning but will never be a beauty. Rat rod candidate.

After pictures will come later.
