So glad you found some exciting things at the auctions - and such a good deal. As you do your house remodeling, it's good to get some sewing "therapy" in because you get a cute product in a shorter time than the house will take! I intend to fine-tune my 1927 Singer soon. Needs a new electric cord due to excessive fraying, but still sews beautifully. You'll get your machines humming soon.
