I am pleased to announce Vinnie, a model 128 born September-December 1925. I rescued Vinnie from craigslist last Friday morning. After 3 days of cleaning and oiling (machine and case), Vinnie is ready for presentation. Thank you Billy (lostn51) and Glenn for your terrific tutorials. Vinnie sews a beautiful line.

DH tested the motor and it does work but the power block is in really bad shape so I can't plug it in again until it's replaced. Of course I'd like to get an original (or good facsimile) foot pedal at the same time as he came with a much later replacement. Other than that he needs cover plates so I don't foul up his wonderful shuttle. Does anyone know the cost of these items?

Vinnie and I are VERY happy campers!

congrats he is a handsome fellow..

Shirley, that's a beauty!!!!!!!!!! I completely redid a 66 from Billy's tute and help. So happy for you!!!!!!!! :D:D:D
