We have several machine come from e-bay and arrived intact. So sorry to hear about the white fw. We just had one arrive and it was packed in about 2 lbs. of s.foam and bubble wrap in a double box.
Can't wait for the weather to warm up it's been so cold this year. We have several machines that need cleaning. To cold in the garage and don't want to do it in the house. So we have just wiped them down and DH gave them a good oiling and I have experimented on them.
Randa, Vintagemotif and Nancy, I am so glad you are able to
use your Davis machines. Mine is on our closed in porch and it's to cold to be out there.
