Oh my, I will have to keep that in mind Miriam. I won't be down-state till October but I do want to do some visiting once I get things settled in. I haven't been to Shipse in such a long time. I want to visit Lollies,and Yoders. ... I don't need anything but ideas. I'm still hoping that I'll get those UFOs finished while I'm here at the cabin and will be able to start something new when I get back home.
Your GKs are so cute.... I tried to get my GGDs sewing a little when they came for a visit but there are other things that catch their eyes. And, I don't get to be with them but a couple of times a year...... never enough time.

I am very blessed to have 5 out of 7 GKs only an hour away. They do come some times and we do get into things...

That machine will clean up nicely and may not need any parts. My 15 clone is about the same age and it was ready to go. I love the cabinet on the 15.

Thanks Irishrose. I try to find SMs that aren't in cabinets due to the space issue but that 15 looks like it could be a nice one. It's threaded in the picture ..... maybe it was used more recently than one that was put back in the barn 30 years ago. I'm very excited to see it in person and turn a few knobs.

Well, I couldn't resist this one. It's my second WW 8. Some of the detailed decals are intact though not great, just got it today. Took a few hours to loosen up stiffness but it is working now. Don't usually post before restoration but I get excited to share! This one came with the Coffin Cover so that's great. Took the whole day to drive to get it...the cost of Victory (LOL)

Quick question. I'm thinking about buying a short bed black 301. The seller says it needs a new belt. It's gear driven right so there's no external or potted motor but there still is a belt right??
