Hi,
New person here...I have been reading old threads for a while now and finally jumped in and became a member yesterday because I have soooooo many questions about my machines. (I have lots

)

When I read this thread and clicked the link, as a lover of old cars, bikes, machines and such (grew up in a body shop) my heart sank that someone would do that to what I presume was a fully functional or repairable machine.

Then I remembered that in my research, I just read in the last day or two that in the 70's ??? there were Singer reproductions made in Taiwan and China which are said to be not as good as the originals and that the decals used were the popular sphinx and red eye .

Given that the "repurposed" one looks so pristine i'm going to live in a fantasy world where this one was a bad mechanical reproduction that couldn't do it's job by making a pretty straight stitch and decided to live it's remaining long years bringing light to those in need.

FG
