    One can not help but appreciate the craftsmanship of these old machines they were a work of art back in their day and will still hold their own against modern machines. Just like cars today's cars may have un told amenities but underneath are they really any better than a well maintained ultra simple Henry J? COme back in 100 years and show me how many 2017 anything will still be around compared to machines made around 100 years ago today

    100 years is a pretty good test. I think products lose their pride in craftsmanship, not just at the assembly line, because part fitter 'A' is 600 feet from the door. To me it's lost when upstart company 'D' buys out the originator. Some hang on to the name but the 'thrill' is gone. When your name is on something, that's tremendous impetuous to produce best possible.
    There really was a Mr. Singer, Mr's Harley and Davidson, Smith & Wesson, Savage, Marlin, Beretta, Olds, Dodge, Kueffel & Esser, Steinway, and my favorite example Peck Stow Wilcox. Just since 1797, that's all. That means Paul Revere (1735-1818) likely had knowledge, probably used some of their tools.
    1000's more exist, of course.
    Time Warner's Spectrum hohumm and will change again in a couple years no doubt. The move is all about image never quality, and image also means hiding from previous bad press....

    I gave it a quick clean, some new vaseline oil and molykote grease on shaft. It's quite smooth and impressive!
    There is a bit of tolerance on the side cam, but the operation is perfect, luckily!
    I think you're right, in the past machines were better
