I'm pretty excited about the "new" machines. There were all waiting for me, so far I've not found any new ones to purchase.
Here is the 500A. I traded a serviced 401 for this machine. Belonged to the Sis-in-law of my MO friend. She never cared for the look of the 500 over the 401 so she's happy and I'm happy.

Here is the 301A. Didn't pay much and this one might be a candidate for a repaint. Has some nasty deep scratches but operating condition is good.

The 127. This one has the nicest decals of any sphinx machine I've seen. It came with a treadle cabinet that has significant water damage. I have the same cabinet in great shape at home - it came with a really worn machine.

And the prize - the 115 Wings. There is a scrape on the decal near the flywheel, and some pin rash, but the rest is in very nice condition. I sort of traded a white FW for this machine. My friend picked this one up for me in MO, and I found the FW in MN. DH gave the FW a good cleaning and adjusting so it's good to go.

There is a fifth machine, but it may stay in GA. I bought it off ebay in the spring, before I got as particular about my machines. It's not in all that good of shape, and my DD is using it for a night stand. If I decide I want an early 99, I'll find a nicer one in a case.
