That one jarred me to thinking.... I have an old black sewing machine around here somewhere - it was my neighbor's. When she moved to an assisted living I got it. It was an old Sears from early 1940's. It was a wedding present from her DH. She never did learn to use it. I've been saving it for DGD who is named after her. I should dig it out and move it a bit. Maybe sew something. I'm thinking last I knew it needed rewiring. Just sitting around isn't so good for those old machines. Maybe it won't be too hard to re-wire. It has an owners manual and a bunch of empty bobbins.
Hello Billy! I love your shop. I picked up this pink baby at a garage sale for $15. Pinky is a Nelco A-3 #00050307. I cant find anything on her. Can you please help me? Thank you Sussie My avaitor(?) is Pinky.

I am debating about which machines to keep--I certainly have an abundance right now--though half of them are at Tomilu's for re-dos....
Realistically, how many do I NEED???? C'mon, someone help me out here---eleven is really over the top, right??? :>)!
Anyone out there have a burning desire for a 306K? she is at Tomilu's right now....or a 66---can't make up my mind who to re-home!!!! And I have cleared out enough extra machines to be embarassing!

Anyone interested in a nice 66-16?
I don't need another machine, I have picked up three in the last two weeks.
