Default September 2021 Colorado Sewing Machine Get Together - Part 4
Leon, from Kansas, sent what he has been up to on the sewing machine front.

Pretty quiet on the sewing machine front in Kansas. Got some sadish news. The Ks museum of history will have remodel soon.
Alas, they will be closed on Ks day. We usually take our handcranks there and have 1,400 kids try them out. A great day of fun.

Oh well. Still working on the 5 machines I bought last month. The most interesting is a Wilson (not Wheeler Wilson) vibrating shuttle with a Hamilton Beach swing away motor. I had Iris jump on the 'puter to find out info on it as I started oiling it. NADA. hmm more checking to do . Has some serious White tendencies, but not the tension area. Oh well pictures of it follow.
