    Beautiful machine!! What do you use to clean the metal to make it so shiny?

    This thread almost got away from me before I could comment on it. Steve, that is an awesome machine! I'm very envious. You're doing a fab job on it. Are you going to do anything to the decals, s/a touch up, restore, etc.? They must be gold leaf.

    No way. I will clean, and even polish, but not "redo" machines like this. (just my opinion)

    I am currently hunting down accessories/manual/case/bobbins for it.
