I gave away one of 'babies' today.
In the interest of thinning the herd, I gave away my 3/4 size Leader (made by National) machine today. I will miss her more than I thought because she was in such pristine shape. Needed nothing more than a cleaning with oil and a coat of Kleen n Wax on the cabinet and she looked new. Can't say that for the others. This is the before picture. I'm glad I didn't take an after - I might have kept it. [ATTACH=CONFIG]570040[/ATTACH]

It didn't need any refinishing. That is the old picture of what it looked like when I brought it home 6 years ago. Before the kids took it away, they went over with Howard's Restor- A-Finish and Howard's Feed-N-Wax. It looked beautiful. They also cleaned the machine with sewing machine oil and had it drummed into their heads to never touch those decals with anything else.
