Nice get KRA! I'm glad you got that one though I wouldn't have left the cover behind. The 201 ad you posted is already gone. If I wasn't so broke I'd be all over the one in Olympia. There's some rust but the machine would clean up really nice.

I have that odd, unknown fiddle base and I need to have a stand for that one, too. These things multiply -- didn't you know?

You might be mis-reading the serial number: Singer didn't make the VS2 after 1891. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singer_Model_27_and_127

Not only did I mis-read it, I mis-wrote it. The actual year is (drumroll, please...) 1889.

All these positive comments are putting me in refurbish mode.

But I'm not sure what kind of table I should try to find. Seems like that's one of the first things I should address.

Those are great sewing machines. Be very careful of the hinges, they are unique to that machine.

I love those decals. These look much better than the ones on my machine.
