Oh the 99 hand crank would be a hoot camping. Can you imagine how many people would stop and watch you in action, might even have a few volunteers to give you a rest. :thumbup:[/quote]
Hahaha!! That's what I was thinking, too. Plus my kids and grandkids would really be making fun of me sewing while camping....they already think I spend too much time sewing. Can you imagine??? LOL LOL

Miz Johnny, I am going to start working on my Elna Supermatic. When I first got it I tried it, the motor did work but the needle barely moved. I'm suspecting that it's just gummed up from sitting for so long. I have to get a new folding knee controller. What should I do first to get it going? Thanks!!

jtapp9, That's a very nice red eye. The decals are in such good shape and the machine looks good, too.
I inherited a Singer 15-91 the other day and I am a little baffled. Attached to the pressure relieving thumb screw is a "Revco" release button. Has anyone else seen one of these and do they know the purpose?

She is supposed to get the S/N for me when she gets home from work.
Was it common for these to be electrified? And is it hard to turn them back into a treadle? Because it has been modified is it even worth it?

thanks much for the information. I treasure it and it works like a charm. Don't know where my mother got it as she was born in 1909.
