Yes, if I had a shrink ray to make these machines smaller I could hide them easier!

You don't need a shrink ray Candace, you need MORE machines! That way the guys don't even notice a new one! :lol:

Well - now I know what a machine boss is. Bummer. I don't know where I could find a hand crank for the Minnesota.

I got this last week:> It's a 185K. I've cleaned it up, it needed it. and it looks all nice and shiny. This is the photo taken at the sellers place, but I jumped on it when I saw it listed on CL. It looks better now, but I don't have a new photo. I sewed all day on it last week and it does a nice straight stitch. Another fun one to play with. It came with the carrying case that needed a good cleaning too, but it works perfect.

Candace, I see that your bobbin tire is green, but I can't tell if your belt is green also. Mine are and were in good shape too. I took them off and replaced them with new ones and put them away for some time in the future in case I might want to sell it. You cannot buy them in that colour and don't see them still on the machine very often.
