Great pictures. This picture gives a good view of the finger guard.
What is it about kids, hair and scissors? They'll have a heck of a time cutting paper but hair seems to be no problem. |

That was just a piece of electrical wire DH bent up to fit in a hole on the machines foot shank. The Vindex Special didn't have a hole so he used an electrical connector to hold it. I would like to have something a little nicer but he didn't have much time. What is it about kids, hair and scissors? They'll have a heck of a time cutting paper but hair seems to be no problem. |
The machines I took along were a Franklin Rotary, a Vindex Special, a Singer 127 or 128 what ever that phinx is, a Singer 66 redeye all with no motor boss and a Singer 15. The 15 seems to be pretty old. I should look it up to see the date. I got it thinking I would have a parts machine. Low and behold another Singer 15 was persuaded to come back to life. No Singer 15s for parts. No 15 clones for parts. I still have a few other derelicts around to work over some time. I would take these on the road again in a heart beat. The kids seem drawn to the non-Singer machines but it could have been where I put them on the table.

Miriam, the 128 is the 3/4 size version of the 127 - just like the 99 is the 3/4 size version of the 66.

Stuff I can't seem to keep in my head. Thanks. Now maybe I'll remember. It is for sure a 127 - it is one big machine.

Miriam,
Elaine asked: "Where in IN did Miriam go camping?" I said, "I don't know." So, where did you go? Joe |
