    Geeze, Steve your website is amazing! I love it when someone puts together a site that! Such a rich history lesson with valuable information for the future generations!

    Thanks for all of the positive feedback regarding the new VSS site.

    I am also looking for negative feedback in case folks had thoughts but were concerned about offending my frail sensibilities.... hehe

    PM's are ok too.

    Just to be sure folks know, the data is mostly "holding" data right now and not accurate yet. I was thinking about color changing the background of pages that are "validated"

    Victorian Sweatshop website Update:
    1. The first two machines in the gallery are now clickable for detail pages.
    2. At the bottom of each of those detail pages there is a link to more pictures, as well as links to other sites.

    as always, I'm looking for ways to improve it.

    Default Reasonable 306K Alert

    In my location, there is a 306K, mocha, in a cabinet but missing the bobbin case and spool pins. It is filthy and comes from an estate sale. The gal at the shop wants $15 for it. I am not giving it space in my house because I already have too many but this is an alert for those in the KS City area who might be looking for this machine. There are no accessories with it either. PM if you want more details.

    Chris

    Sew classic has the bobbin case and spool pins. Dirt is a protective coating... LOL... You know you want it - go on and get it - give it a life...

    Thanks Steve and Monica! The best thing about the deal I got was that I got a Centennial FW! This FW was on my wish list along with getting a free arm 222 and a tan FW!

    Miriam, I am at max capacity right now and truly am uninterested in this machine. I do know that I can get those parts easily but do not want the machine. Just promised the thrift shop owner that I'd get the word out about the machine.
