kinda embarrassed by how simple it was and how long I procrastinated because I though it would be harder....

You know it's a good job when the finished product looks like it's always been that way. Those look like they belong there.
Are you going to put a piece of paper in the case documenting the replacement decals? I think 100 yrs from now some collector might be very confused.

Should have thought of that myself. I'll hide glue laminate it to the bottom of the machine

What, you think that thing will still be running in another 100 years?

I believe it will run another 100 years unless someone doesn't take care of it.

Miriam, I was -totally- kidding. :-)

These sewing machines will certainly be running longer than we will, won't they!

I like the expression my senior uncle uses when he buys a new fridge, furnace, etc. , "This one will see me out..."

Steve,
What process did you use to remove the decals? They really look nice! Just bought a 29-4 and there is so much oil on it that I must have rubbed too hard and silvered the decals. Now if I every get it clean and get to use it, I might just think about the decals.

Thanks,
Lisa
