I'll show off a few of mine...they both need some serious cleaning but I can't wait to treadle the 201 in a wooden-leg treadle I found.

Wow!
Charlee, that is a real beauty - surprising what lots of elbow grease can do to an old loved object! The cabinet turned out spectacular from what we can see - enjoy!

I used to stand by my grandmother while she sewed on it. I remember the wonderful sound a treadle makes and I wanted to sew on it. Grandma told me she wanted me to have it when I was a young girl. She said she knew I would take care of it. I am beside myself with grief. I can't even bring myself to take a picture of it.

Restore it as best you can, get rid of the rust and refinish the cabinet. Get it back to working condition and enjoy the memories you have while using it. It is precious to you. You can do it! Check out directions under tutorials for vintage sewing machines.
