But if you want a real antique machine, the repro is not for you. Billy has told us in another thread that the Chinese made, repro are mechanically inferior machines.

Nancy are you talking about the Craig's list for Placerville. If so I wondered who got those machine. I e-mailed the person yesterday and she did not get back to me until tonight saying that she had sold both of them. Kathie

I got my idea to use my 201 this way from Sharon's posts. I would just try it out to see if it works. That is what I did. Best idea, that and Sharon's suggestion of dental floss to hold treadle belt instead of the staple. Thank you Sharon! Thanks to purplefiend and VM for giving me the heads up that an electric belt race will work for a treadle belt. Thanks guys. So now, if I happen to see a treadle cabinet, I might pick that up too. We'll see! Thanks! Which is very clever and works for those with limited space. You can have a shelf with different machine heads and change machines as needed. So, they don't all have to be Singer machines to work. Way cool! have fun hunting! |
Oh Miz Johnny, that New National is so gorgeous. . . . the one I saw a photo of is only a mere hint of yours. You really have a wonderful knack for finding such awesome machines. Thank you for sharing them with us. luv2learn
