Singer Merritt 2404
I received a Singer Merritt 2404 found in a house someone was working on. It seems to have a lot of cams for stitches. Is this machine worth checking out to see if it works? Probably from 1990's I think. It is dusty and a little dirty but looks good. Should I work with it ?

IMHO, all free machines are worth checking out! Here's a link to the manual: http://www.singerco.com/uploads/down...c14c7a8356.pdf. Not one of Singer's classics, but looks like it would be a decent machine.

I picked up one about a year ago. It was in great shape and worked on day one. On day 6, it quit
and figuring I had nothing to loose, I opened it up. The Merritt was made around 1980 and was produced in the Singer factory in Brazil. There is a nylon gear located behind the reverse mechanism that broke a few teeth off the metal gear holder. I found the gear on e-bay and fixed the unit
About 2 months ago, my sister asked if I would donate a machine to an organization that teaches children and young adults the skill of sewing. I readied the 2404 with the case, cams and original owners manual and I understand it is being put to good use in it's new home.
