WOW Cathy. What a nice layout you made for your collections. I HOPE you don't have any earthquakes in the Dakotas.

I cannot picture this.

I don't have any pics of it either. And my machine is burried in the storage locker. No idea exactly where.
I have an owners manual on .pdf I could email you, there are some pretty detailed pics in the oiling section.

Cathy you and your husband did an incredible job of rebuilding that shed and setting up your museum. To see that many different machines arranged so nicely and with the knowledge behind them is really something special.
Thank you for the tour and though I don't know when I would get out your way I'd love to meet you and your husband and see your collection in person.

WOW! I knew you had a lot of machines, but never expected to see so many. Your new home for them is wonderful as are all of the machines. Thank you for sharing your collection with us.

Farmhousesewer - they are Japanse made machines from the 50's / 60's that have the look of a 1950's car dashboard - lots of dials and buttons and colors - it's just a nickname we use, nothing official.

This is my favorite one - it's the model my Mom had when I was growing up. It's one of my "working girls" so not part of the collection.
