    Looking forward to this tute. I have quite a few rusted parts that need cleaning.

    Thank you Billy for all you do to further our education with our machines and accessories.

    Blessings to you,

    I am just tickled that you all are wanting to save our history. If it were not for all of us out there buying these old girls up and getting them running we would lose a huge part of our hobby.

    The only machines we'd have to choose from would be plastic wonders that die after about 2-5 years of use. I can
    not imagine not having my older machines that sew so well
    with just a few drops of oil.

    Several years back seemed to be a hobby to disect the treadles and make them into cutesy plant stands. Broke my heart to see it.

    I think this whole going green thing helped along with the fact that new machines never last.
