PM Lostin51 and he gives great advice on these babies.

Great find. I really need to keep my eyes open and make more stops at thrift stores.

Gorgeous!! I saw one of these yesterday at a local antique shop...they wanted too much for her, or she'd have come home with me! ;) (One of the slide plates was missing)

Definately! Get her up and running!! You'll love to use it, there's just something about these old girls that makes you gravitate to them when you need a simple straight stitch...and it's a shame to let it just be a decoration.

These machines are pretty basic, my DML has one, I don't think it would take much to get it going,I would get it working and use it to straight sew on if it was mine, this is a real beauty, so enjoy!

It would not take much to get it running at all. You do need to rewire it if you want to keep it electric. But you can do the Handcrank conversion or put it in a treadle.

It looks like a 128 and the case looks like a full sized case. The decal on the case is an early on and you need to post the serial so I can find out the year and exactly what you have.

Also the decals look wonderful and is in my favorite pattern "La Vencedora" which is usually found on the 128's.

You do not need to take it to a shop you can do it all there at your home with a little patience.

This looks just like mine, recently purchased from ebay..its a model 128...mine was made Oct.1919 .. go the the Singer web site and send them an email with every number you can find on the machine..they found mine by the serial number (it is free and they came back quickly)...
