Just prior to getting the 6, I had purchased a VS2 which I'm having a bit of a tension problem with but otherwise is done and looks BEAUTIFUL. The other that I have finished is a 128 that I am so happy with the stitching. I have finished my part on the first of the 6 which is a 99 HC. My DH is gluing the box corner supports but we are missing the bentwood top unfortunately. Today I started on a Domestic treadle tor my 14 year olld granddaughter who will be getting it for Christmas if I get the cabinet done. The remaining ones are an electric New Home and 3 treadle Whites. I can't seem to find any NH or White manuals online. Mostly they are dried out with dirt and surface rust, this is Florida, after all, and rust is KING! I haven't really checked the others out but I did see that the electric one will need total rewiring.

I have taken some photos but last night my computer went wacko and I now have to re-sort all of my many photos to even find the machine pix. One of the White cabinets is so pretty that I can hardly wait to start on it. BUT I must get my DGD's Christmas present done first. Meanwhile, I have about 60 gallons of wine to finish and bottle. That will probably take me a week to do since that means that I have to sanitize 300 bottles first. Don't know what I'll do with all these (and my other) machines while I clean house before a sit down dinner for 50-60 in just about a month. This house isn't big enough for all those guests and all these machines...can't get rid of the machines so...well, we will see. Just hope I don't get the Evaporust and the wine mixed up when it is time to serve the guests my wine. LOL Donna

LOL You might be surprised how they clean up and which ones you like and don't like in the end. Do they have rust or is is dried up oil? Dried up oil is preferable... Surface rust is not too terrible but RUST through and through is a disaster and a LOT of work.
