Wheeler and Wilson find!
I'm excited to find my first W&W machine. It was on craigslist this morning and I picked it up tonight. It's in awful condition but I don't mind a bit. It's missing the hand crank and a sole plate, but all the parts move smoothly, and it even came with a bobbin still in place. It's also missing the case.
Any suggestions for bringing this old girl back to life? I took photos and then slathered it with sewing machine oil to soak the grime off. After it's clean I'll see what I can do about finding parts for her.

The machine turns beautifully and soooo smooth. It came with one donut bobbin, and the needle. I'm going to clean her up the best I can, including kerosene on her insides, and then she'll be proudly displayed in my long arm room (if they ever get the dang drywall finished! LOL)
