Awesome 66, nigh on perfect. I wonder if she ever was used much? Please do tell us about your adventure re-wiring the 101.

You have acquired a beautiful collection of machines that are in great condition. I enjoyed looking at them. Thanks for the pictures.

Thanks, Judy. Of course other than the New National we've only taken pictures of the ones that are in the best condition :) I need to spend some time taking shots of the others so I have before pics to compare with after pics once they're all cleaned up. When I take the pictures I'll post them.

and still more....

and the Whites

These two are somewhat sad in a fashion. The first one came with the base but no top. Easier to ship that way! Then I got a note from the seller - after he'd shipped it- that he'd found the top. AAARRRGGHH! Yep, the machine was flopping around inside the case and turned the base into kindling while punching an ugly hole in the top. The second came with a case but the base broke apart during shipping and the machine caused some damage to the case itself. I think the base will be fixable but I'm less sure of the top. After these (and the 128 that wasn't quite so bad) we've decided that we're going to be very, very picky about who we buy machines w/cases from in the future. Both of the sellers made good on the damages (as did the seller of the New Home zigzag machine) but still.

oh how fun! you've gathered a wonderful collection and it looks like they go perfectly in your home. I love those elaborate decals - why aren't things made beautifully now? don't you wonder about that sometimes?

Once I get it cleaned up the New National is going straight to display in the dining room. It was made just a few years after the house was built and it looks like it belongs. I think a parlor cabinet with Collete, the Red Eye, would also go well :) |
Catching up some...

A pair of 15-91s, one a centennial, the other in much nicer shape. The 66 is the machine that I intend to work on first as its decals are in the worst shape of any of the machines we've bought and if I screw something up I'd rather it wasn't something too unusual or something in really nice shape.
