Husqvarna Viking Model 21
 
Anyone here have one? I lusted after one a few years ago, but kept getting outbid on ebay. I ended up with a Kenmore instead....the Kenmore is okay, nothing wrong with the machine, but I never bonded with it like my other ones. I regret not being able to get the Viking 21. The hunt is officially back on.

Oh my. A girl with a vintage sewing machine lust in her heart. I will also keep my eye out for a Viking 21 for you.

Ha! I see you are in Washington state. If you live near Seattle I am officially jealous, cause they usually have tons of cool machines on Craigslist in that area.

Yes, I have found a few good buys on Craigslist. And also Shopgoodwill.com. I just bid and won a vintage Brother Wizard in a real pretty blue color. Since it was a pickup in Tacoma the total I paid for her was $9.83. I don't know if there is anything that comes with her except the delightful duct tape wrapped case bottom she sets in. I am going to pick her up tomorrow.

I remember your post and was so apprehensive that someone local was going to outbid me. I have really wanted a pretty blue one for a long while. It will be interesting to see her real condition when I pick her up today. I have decided that her name will be Bonnie Blue.

This is too funny! I actually know exactly what machine you are talking about.

Yes, I was so hoping that someone else local to me was'nt going to start bidding against me. I just posted pics today so you see her up close.

I have just what you are looking for.
My wife received a Husqvarna Viking Model 21 from her grandmothers estate and it is in good condition and ever has an owners manual with it. She is interested in parting with the Viking 21.
Interested?

Adam, I would love to see some pictures. I am interested, depending on price. : )
