Default Picked up this lovely yesterday!

I'm so excited. I found her at a yard sale for $15. The power cord is in pretty bad shape so I need to get a new one before I know if she runs. I can't wait to get her all cleaned up.

What a fun find! If you have any other Singer "girls", you might try their power cords. I have a 66-16 that had a cord that had been chewed up by critters. I couldn't wait for hubby to fix the cord, so I tried the cord from my 401A and it worked!
I know you are having fun. Keep us posted on her rehab,
