Cleaned them up a bit; replaced a plug in on one; recovered the stool on one; and both of them run so smoothly. :lol: :lol:

Thanks.

Is the first machine, in the pics, a model 99? If it is then you are lucky to have a cabinet to fit a 3/4 size sewing machine. They are a little harder to find than the regular sized cabinets. Now you can find yourself a little green 185j and it can take turns being in the cabinet with the 99!!
