Anyone ever used a regular 1960s Japanese machine to knit socks?

Good thing you wasn't with me recently...I went to a new thrift store and there was 5 diff kind machine and all was at 75% off! New home, singer and a old Kenmore !
One was a treadle base without machine
And no...I didn't buy any, no money that day!! Lol

And for parts

Cathy - Sounds like fun going with you DH!!! You certainly have luck finding them!! I found 2 Singers a few days ago at the Sally Ann thrift store (1 frozen & one missing parts) but they were asking lots of $ so I will keep looking and if they are still there in a month maybe they will be cheaper.

I posted about the Singer 12 separately - here are the other 8.
GE Sewhandy - for parts, but it does have the older style face plate - and bobbin and case.
Pfaff 130 frozen and very rusty underneath, missing parts but has some we needed for our 130. It will go for parts.
The next three are all left homing - they are for display, but I do prefer that they'll be in working condition.
This one is missing the tension dial, but I found the parts in the case of attachments that came with it.
Will need some work though.
The Fotomatic IV - this one is very pretty
And the White - this one is center homing and takes cams. At least it came with one so hopefully I can find more.
The Singer 185, because my husband is partial to green Singers.
