[ATTACH=CONFIG]385378[/ATTACH] Here is the bottom side of my recently purchased, used Majestic sewing machine. I am waiting for a new bobbin case to arrive in the mail, then I can do my sewing once again.

The elegant engineering of this machine amazes me.
I have a plan now. It is being completely "rebuilt" (down to bare iron, then paint) then, inspired by another persons "display setup", I plan to build a tall base with viewports and on the right side set up an internal 1" to 1-1/2" pulley and standard singer belt, with an external 3" diameter hand crank wheel (removable of course)
This should make it operate similar to a hand crank singer ratio wise. Add a cover and poof! a portable Early Howe that can be used.
