Add my prayers to others around the world.
Billy, DH and I hope you will have a speedy recovery and won't be away from the shop for very long.
Billy, thinking of you.
Also, a question for the experts here:
A local resale shop has 2 Singer 15-91 machines with bases. With delivery, I can get both for about $125 (total). All of the obvious parts are there, but the cords are original, so they would need replacement for safety. (about $25 or so per machine) I ahve not tested the motors.It looks like these machines are fairly common on eBay.
Would it be easy or difficult to resell one of the machines, for about $100, to pay for the other. ?

Her granddaughter sold it to me, is thrilled it will be used. Will have to see if I can add pics from phone, otherwise will be home this weekend, on vacation up north this week. Edited: figured out how to add pic,but its a download, so will do it when I get home, hopefully can get them to attach directly.
Buslady, could you post a pic of the back of your cabinet for the two spool, I got the same one and the back bracket for the irons is broke. The machine I got is a National two spool, after looking at the cabinet it's on better shape that I thought, am missing the needle clamp and machine is froze up. Got it soaking in kerosene right now.

I am covered from head to toe with sores and I can not even take a shower without crying in shear agony. I am eating Lortab 10's like they are candy 4 every 4 hours and can not do anything but lie down.
I just hope I can come out of this but I have accepted the fact that I might not and I am okay with it. I had 45 good years on this planet and had a lot of fun and made a lot of friends. But I am so tired of being in pain and suffering its not even funny.

Try looking here for the cord - maybe be cheaper. http://shop.sew-classic.com/Singer-S...Models_c35.htm Don't know what you can get out of a machine in your area. I sold a 201 for $75 a couple months ago.
My co-worker bought me this machine while he was on vacation in the Ukraine. It is a handcrank for $130
with a serial # 4499604
Don't know if the price is good but I love the machine :lol:
