No central air here either; we have no need for it. Our house is about 63-67 during the day and around 55-60 at night. My sewing room is on the lower level and stays around 55-57, so I have a space...

Why don't we ever see these? I would probably buy one of these original repair "jacks" if I could find one. They are as interesting to me as the old machines! Has anyone EVER come across any of...
