Default I found this vintage singer

Does anyone know anything about this vintage singer, and what it might be worth? I think it is a model #750.

That doesn't look like any Singer I know of.

Looks like a Japanese clone machine to me.

After further research it appears that this is a Dial n Sew.....but don't know anymore than that about it. Any help would be appreciated. Haven't bought it yet.

It's a pretty shade of blue and not badly marked up. Take some fabric if you can and test the stitch and all the functions. It isn't a "Singer" but it could still be a very nice machine. For what it's worth, it's only worth what you feel it's worth to you. Most machines aren't really "collectible" except to us crazies who love them and everyone has their favorites for one reason or another.

Is that a bad thing? Don't know much about older machines, so just wondering. I found another pic just like this online that included the name plate and it says "Dial n Sew"

Not being a Singer isn't a "bad thing" but it does mean that the Singer Collectors aren't going to be interested. This is basically a "generic" Japanese made machine, and while it's probably fine for sewing, it's got little to no value as a collectable item.

This only comes into play because you asked "what it might be worth?" It's basically worth the cost of the servicing put into it - example : unserviced, $25 or less, with a full $100 servicing, then it's worth $125 or so.

And remember, my opinion is worth what you paid for it LOL!!
