The machine that came to my door is a Singer Stylist 533 - made in Great Britain, maybe in the late 70s. The cabinet operates in a very strange manner. It doesn't seem safe to me. I'll try to get a picture later. The machine is a mix of metal and plastic and very dirty. Turns smoothly and all the levers work. It has no bobbin and no needle, so I can't try to sew right now. I'm sure I have bobbins that will fit it, but I only have metal in that size. Okay, back to the flowers. I can play with machines after dark.
This one was headed to the dumpster if I didn't take it. Poor dirty girl.

Need help, please. I just bought a Singer 1902 Model 28K hand crank machine. The handle on the crank is missing. Where is the best place to get a replacement hand crank set up??

I played with the dressmaker last night and this AM...cleaned all the lint out, oiled it a bit, and it sews a good stitch, but it's pretty noisy!! I didn't play with the cams at all. Looks to be complete except for a book!

Metalic blue and if my memory serves me correctly (and many times it doesn't) I think it said HOME on it. $39 and the wiring was all cracked and I'd be afraid to run it until it was rewired. I'd take it for $25. I've asked him to come down on the price but he won't budge!
:shock: :roll:

This is interesting. http://sacramento.craigslist.org/art/2419844747.html
That machine is the exact same machine as my Morse 15 clone. The one I just posted! It is not an industrial machine - it is a domestic machine -, but people put that on the ad thinking they can get more money for the machine. I paid $25 at a yard sale for mine - which was a steal -- because it is easily worth more, but not $150!
