I appreciate everyone's remarks. I've been working on machines only a couple of years, and this was the most ambitious undertaking, cosmetically anyway. There's such a great sense of satisfaction bringing a machine back to life, and I don't even know how to sew! I admire people who can actually make things with a machine. The most remarkable thing about working on them is the engineering, it's amazing to see something 100+ years old still function as it was intended. And the help from everyone on this board can't be overvalued.
