I think this is the exact machine I sewed on when I worked in the Vanity Fair plant sewing Victoria Secret bras almost 20 years ago. lol

What a difference!

Great job cleaning her up. I am working on removing 50 yrs of nicotene from my black 301. I don't think it is ever going to all come off. You have given me renewed hope it will be removeable eventually. Beautiful job!
