I like it. It would make a great machine for everyday use, and it shows off the mechanical beauty of the thing. If it were me, and if they usually had the name across the arm, I'd want to at least paint that on there...gotta give credit to the guys who built it.

I really like the machine in your avatar, too. Do you own it?

Caroline, do you see what you and your sister started? Love the debate. Just rather ironic that old finish vs. new would be such a hot topic! That, and the cat in my arms approves of such dialogue. Koko is never short of an opinion. Of course, that would be the Siamese in her.

Maybe Koko likes Moki (the sweetie with the light blue background...to the left).

BTW, sorry I kinda took this post off topic...I didn't realize how the forum was organized at first, and I found it from a search on White VS-2's..... too late now, though...Oooops!

Yep, it's my favorite to sew with... Even started doing some quilting squares on it...

Both have their charm but I would choose the one with the worn decals and japanning every time. That doesn't mean people who like the stripped down industrial look are wrong, I like some of it. I just prefer the worn original over the complete change in character of the exposed iron and steel version.
