I guess I don't understand the fascination with all these old machines. I have a Featherweight that I never use and am getting rid of and I think my Viking D1 is old. Therefore I want the latest & greatest new Viking. The heck with the old stuff.

By books do you mean manuals?

Yes, there are some service manuals, user manuals and books about collecting machines and how to take care of them.

I want to play with them more, but right now I've a bunch of other projects to get finished. But it is fun to just look at them.
