Thanks for the warm welcome from everyone! I have uploaded a bunch of pics of my three vintage sewing machines to my profile albums.

Ouch that Victory/Davis hand wheel Doesn't look healthy. Do you think the crankshaft is bent or that someone got too heavy handed trying to pull the wheel off? Good thing it isn't electric.

I do have a super high resolution monitor, but I'll bet this trick works for you: hold the Ctrl button down while you scroll... I think down makes it smaller.

The Davis is not bent, must be a trick of the picture. It turns almost as smoothly as the W&W, I think a good cleaning is what it needs. I just don't have the time these deserve right this second. I'm collecting a few things for them, belts, needles... reading up on what cleans them with the least harm. Knowing first before doing.
Oh, the Davis did come with a motor conversion, hahahaha! I'm putting a belt on it for treadle action instead though.
