I hope this reply goes to all,
Such a treat to meet others who share an interest in these wonderful timeless sewing machines. I'll be reading what I can find on the D9/W9 here and elsewhere as well. Thank you for your help with the spring issue. I feel more confident about having a good result knowing you've been there before me successfully.
Already I'm thinking about a W&W12. First, this one gets finished, then I need a treadle base and then I can think about adding a new machine. I've only been at this for a year or two. Time flies. Anyway, I've bought, in order, a 15-91, 101-4, 201-2, 66, and W9 - all needed restored including two cabinets (101, 66). So far it hasn't gotten old. In fact it's gotten better as I got the tools and set up my bench. I'm lucky that my husband enjoys them too a little.
Thank you all again and cheers everyone,
Arishia
