    Great job. So happy you took pictures to keep track of what can be done with quality workmanship. I wonder if today's machines can be restored fifty years from now..... Not as well as this, I bet. Congratulations on your "new" machine.

    I just purchased that same model!

    What did you use for the rust? billy's tutorial doesn't get into a discussion of getting rid of rust.
    thanks.

    Thanks so much for posting. I'm just starting my first restoration, my mother's 1957 201. DH is rather pessimistic but your pictures interested him...he's impressed.
