I certainly do, but I have 5 machines I just purchased getting into this vintage machine hobby and most have been clean which has allowed me to spend more time currently stripping one down and prepping it for a new paint job and I prefer to spend any extra time I have away from my other studios on the property on refinishing and repainting the cabinets. I really enjoy that part as an artist.
I am so glad you like the dirty ones that need work. I don't but I can and will do it as I learned today if the right machine comes along.
