I want some of the earlier electric designs. I want a Hamilton Beach motor conversion, brand not important, and at least 1 or 2 examples of early potted motor types. It probably won't happen due to costs but I'd like at least one or two pre-1900 machines from before the modern shape we're used to seeing was settled on. What I'm aiming for is at least one representative of each of the different styles of machine up to now, preferably with some of the cool engineering and designs they've had over the years.

Rodney, can you shoot a pic of what you already have?

"wall of sewing machines" - sort of like this? In the "museum" I'll probably have something like this as a divider, anchored floor and ceiling so it can't tip.

Very cool! This gives me some organizing ideas.
Have you seen pictures of the All Saints Co. in San Francisco? They use old sewing machines as decor and there are wall of them. https://www.flickr.com/photos/pbo31/5226776987/ |
