Fraternal Twins

These two machines are pretty similar.  So similar that we thought we could sca the tension assembly from the Elgin for the White.  We couldn't.  Just enough different.

We were able to fix the White's tension issues.  While the Elgin does not have the extension table for the free arm, I sill adore this little machine.  It has some needle bar issues and hopefully some lapping compound will fix it.  But I love the little compartment right in front of the pillar.   It makes a decent stitch.  Once I have two functioning thumbs I would like to see if I can fix that needle bar.
