Question - I'm getting to clean some machines. Do I wax the Godzilla finish on the 128 or leave it more textured? Mine has no decals. Would it look better shiny or unshiny?

[QUOTE=miriam;4631995]
Do you mean a picture of a big tote full of accessories? Or do you want me to sort them out??? I got some of them sorted out.... I bought a wooden drawer unit a couple years ago - it only has 42 drawers and they are stuffed. There has to be a better way to organize this stuff.
How about a parts bin unit? They are open top little plastic boxes that slide in and out of a shelf unit, and you can label the fronts. You can get small ones that sit on a table at the big box home improvement stores.

The wooden thing works ok but I can't see what is in the drawers - I think I need a label system. This thing is a nice size. I have needle plates for looks like T & S and manuals too...

Of course, I guess I could move it to the other machine, huh? Dh is not handy with that sort of thing, and lately I seem to do myself bodily harm at least once a day....but my next door neighbor has advertised handyman services. Hmmmm.

My advise is don't buy it, Billy. IF you're buying it for a collection, you know that condition is everything and you just can fix a cracked base.

http://www.shopgoodwill.com/viewItem.asp?ItemID=8834787 is a pretty blue clone, with the chrome trim around the stitch regulator and such. I have two blue ones, because blue is my favorite color. One is two-toned, but one is almost like this one.
