He is quite a fella !!! The one I will show tomorrow is my Wheel-Wilson #8 that I bought when I was in New York. I just have the machine, and he made the neatest display box for it just from the measurements I sent.

I finished cleaning my 15-30. I put a repro hand crank on it also and painted out the Chinese letters - fortunately mine moves really smoothly and quietly. I had bought the machine for $20 and it was missing the slide plate - and the box. I bought a wood box on eBay that was covered with ugly wallpaper.I removed the wallpaper thinking I would paint it but the joints didn't look very good. So I put red oak veneer on it and stained it. Here is the finished product:
