Yes! I love seeing your haul! I see a few gems there and can't wait to see the rest! It's pretty exciting to take in a bulk buy like that and sometimes a little overwhelming just to figure out where to start!

I get into SO much trouble when I try to paint anything. Paint is something I avoid at all costs. I have paint disasters any time I try to paint. But you are right some of them could use some good paint. Miss Lovie was needing something sewn the other day so I set her up with a White. She looked at it and informed me that it wasn't a Singer. So I told her there were other good machines out there. I think her favorite machine is the 99s. They are little and cute. I got a little 128 recently and she hasn't seen it yet. And she hasn't seen that little Regal yet. I think it is adorable.

It is a LOT overwhelming to know where to start. I think I'll start with the 115 since I've never messed with one before. Nah... maybe I should start with the Singer 99 that needs a needle bar make over. Nah that's too much work and I need to give the garage back so maybe I should start with parting out...... ARGH you are right it IS overwhelming - very overwhelming. Then Joe wants parts off one. We'll have to get Wilbur and Miss Lovie over here with screwdrivers pretty soon so Joe can have his parts.

O My Goodness, you have quite a job ahead of you. It was quite an interesting story how you came to acquire these machines. I think I saw a light blue one that looked interesting to me, but then I am somewhat drawn by the color of different machines.

The black thing is the light switch. The belt guard and hand wheel have been robbed. There is a motor, hand wheel, etc for a 201 in the motor box...
