Welcome aboard, I think it was LeonF who recently said a line about men needing to learn how to use power machines with needles. LOL, I think that's great and might make up a t-shirt that says "Power Machine" on top, a picture of a sewing machine, and then "with Needles" on the bottom.
Welcome to the board!
I don't do as much as I once did cleaning up and renovating sewing machines. I used to get them and gave them to a charity that gave them to immigrant families. Recently though my mom told me to take the nice Sears machine I gave her years ago, it's been sitting in the garage near the salt water. I'm hoping that a bit of oil will be all it needs but it might be ruined now... haven't opened up the case to look yet.
