Default Last but not least, a Singer 66

So this is the last of the machines I picked up from my friend. This machine she has owned since she was a teenager. It is a Singer 66 born on Oct 3, 1912 if I am matching her serial number correctly to the Singer List. Her SN is G2366377. She was converted to electric and just needs a new belt. And a cleaning.

I like 66s in general. I have 7 of them at the last count. They are a piece of cake to clean, oil and service. Belts are easy to get and replace too.

You'll have that one sewing up a storm in no time.

I love mine too! Even if she still has her back attach in place.
