Was looking for sewing machines on craigslist and found this. There are two machines in the list. This is the way to have a garage sale. Thought ya'll might enjoy. But your right the guy sounds like a hoot and a half! Billy |

Most people do not realize that shellac was used on the machine cabinets and the machines themselves. It is wise to test the finish to see what it is. I am like you Billy we are family and I am here to help. Glenn

The machine that I got the handwheel off of for Honchey's Red Eye was cobbled back together and is in use in my studio. It is my FrankenSinger!! :lol: I think I used parts from 3 or 4 different machines to get it running (I pilfered a handwheel from a 185J for it). But it is a 66-1 and I could not let it go to the wayside! Billy Nancy |
I just found this forum. Count me in! I have an old new home treadle machine. I have to get the leather strap to stay and not pull apart. I don't know to keep it together. I was thinking of stapling it together.

After restraining myself from bidding on a 201-2 on eBay I found one on Craigslist, last night!! I went to pick it up this morning. It was $75 and it came in a #71 Singer cabinet!!
Not sure how much it weighs but man oh man----it's HEAVY!! |
