I agree with ArchaicArcane's DH only I would have said "Stupendously beautiful".

Nice paint job...you can it's perfect

oh my gosh, that thing is gorgeous John! It has been good for me to read all about everyone's 500. I finally pulled my first one out of it's cabinet yesterday, and oiled it. Everything moves freely inside - dirty though. The outside is so yucky, I see pretty ones and wish for them. Beginning to see that at least I do have one, even if it is yucky. I need to put time into it, so it isn't yucky! Worst case scenario, I could pick an entirely different color scheme, and learn to paint! =))

that looks totally awesome!!!!Like it just came off the shelf of the store. You sure have a knack for refurbishing them.

Sorry, ArchaicArcane. I just saw your question. Mine are all black and look like they might be a little smaller.

These are the ones that the 158-19142 uses. I love the "books" they come in. The buttonholer and other accessories all came in books you could stack on a shelf. I actually bought them for the book, but it's not as handy to carry to a S&B as I thought.

sew4nin, do yours look like this, or different?

No worries. Was just trying to narrow them down for you. :) I wasn't sure if they were just in a different case and different colors or different altogether.
