I did get my Serata HC up and running.I sewed my first project on it. I made two mug rugs. One for myself and one for Betsy, my friend that gave her to me. I have never named my machines, but after embroidering 'Betsy' on the mug rug, I decided to name the machine Betsy after her. I will probly name the Singer treadle Elizabeth after the place she was made. That is also the name of one of my DGDs. {Elizabeth Rainee H...but we have always called her Rainee} So far, my favorite is the hand crank.
Does anybody know anything about this Brother Deluxe Syncro-Matic? I want to go look at this one this week. Sure is pretty. The people don't know anything about sewing machines, they bought a storage building and it was in there. Do the feed dogs drop? There's a knob on the plate like those on a Pfaff 130 to drop them maybe. I saw a black one on line set up to treadle so this one probably could be treadled too. It does have a motor. Any ideas about finding parts for it? I love the aqua color too.

I recently bought a 301a on eBay that was missing the power cord and foot pedal. I ordered them, and they arrived yesterday...guess what....she purrs like a little honey!!! WOO HOO!!! I am so excited. I have to clean her up, as she is really dirty, but I am soooo excited that she runs!!!

The machine is all there and just needs some TLC to get her up and treadling.

If you give me the serial number off of it I can date the machine for you. The serial maybe located on the needlebar and on the bed of the machine depending on the year. I can not believe you have the needles to go with it also!! That is a find in itself. ;)
