RENOVATION SERVICE
 
Renovating valuable sewing machines has always been a hot potato. Some say any restoration devalues a sewing machine, others say it is a waste to not help an ailing machine and bring it back to some of its former glory. As specialists in this area we will let you judge for yourself. We have no doubt that careful and sensitive restoration brings back the character of the machine and adds value. The machine below was given away as having no value. In fact the owners found no interest from any dealers before contacting us. Judge for yourself the machine below, then ask yourself how much that would sell for on a good day at auction. Even with the low resolution pictures the improvements can clearly be seen. This sewing machine is now a museum piece.
