    I am so happy! Went schelping at Trade Day fleamarket today, and lookie what I came home with..... went in hopes of a featherweight.. But she will do, I think, while I'm waiting. Looks like the cord was ripped out of the plug up next to the machine, so I haven't been able to try her out. Wheel & foot moves freely and under all that dust and grime she looks to be in great condition.One bad note someone painted the cabinet it looks to be a blond one under all that white paint. Will be using Lostn51/Billy tute on cleaning her up. Billy bless your soul, I'll be needing your expertise again :lol: Will post her purty picture when she's all cleaned up and sewing.

    I have her two older sisters, one from 1948 that belong to my great-grandmother, and one from 1940 that I bought off eBay. They're great machines! :thumbup:

    She's very pretty! I have her sister, a 1949 Singer 15-90. I did a motorectomy on her and I use her as a treadle machine. :D
