Your F and R is a treasure. I could never bring myself to keep a machine like this stored. I would have to clean and oil and put it to use. I really enjoy using both my F and R 's. They are well engineered and need to be used. I have pieced quilts and made Civil war costumes on mine. I have a mutt treadle I put it in if I need to go fast. I am lucky to have a manual too.
