It looks like they're all intact but I can't see what it looks like inside the casings or tubings. I emailed sew-classic but she suggested finding a local source.

The two sewing machine shops in my area both do it. Many are vintage machine collectors and or sellers. I agree though, you can work on these yourself. I am blessed in that my DH likes to fix and restore them.
