I've been sitting on this picture set for a while because I didn't know how to handle it with the blog. I basically had three options: 1) don't make an entry at all, since this make and model is already represented pictorially, 2) make another full entry as if this was the first time I had taken this make and model apart, or 3) write a shorter entry, highlighting any differences in procedure or part selection from the first disassembly. I opted for the last choice, since it's better to have more potential blog entries than fewer, in case of lean times, but making a new exhaustive entry is redundant.
Here's the two machines still intact. I didn't bother to take many 'during' or 'after' pictures, since I think I covered that angle pretty well in the first entry, and there wasn't a whole lot of differences in procedure. I will note, though, that I remembered about that 'hidden' screw on the back panel, so that streamlined the process somewhat.
Hey, look. Free thread.
Parts selection was a bit different. The first difference was that I took more of the plastic wire connectors (I'm blanking on the actual term) this time. They were easier to pull on these sewing machines, and I think I have an idea for what to do with them.
The other difference is evident in the trophy pile pictures. Note the lack of the big side panels, and clear sliding things. I decided that they weren't worth trying to find storage for them, and the ones from the last teardown might get thrown away next time I cull the collection. Speaking of storage, I now have so many of those buttons that they warrant having their own container now.

Hi, I found your post about a White Speedy Lock S34 serger. I am in need of a throat plate for mine. If you still have the parts from that machine I would be interested in purchasing them from you. I don't want to post my email here, but I'm not sure how else to contact you. Thank you Doug
