I got the Eldredge Two Spools listed on Craigslist! The machine is so nice, only needed to be wiped off. It was in the same family for 86 years! I got the Certificate of Warranty - dated. I got the users manual, the attachments, the instruction manual for the attachments, the service guarantee. He was asking $100, I got it for $90. This is the first machine I have bought that I did not have to go on-line and get a manual, bobbins, slide plate, spool pin, whatever! It is complete!
Here she is! I am going to call this machine Annie Oakley - she fits in with Monica's cowboy and cowgirl.

Sorry these pictures are kinda dark - I had to put this one in front of the Murphy bed in my sewing room! Heaven help us if we have over night company soon!

the back or on the side?
Yours is older than mine by a few months made in 1910,
my serial number is G5960807.
You could remove the motor and light and make her a treadle again.
These manuals are copies of the original so not really good quality - just down load, but remember the 99 is like 99 pages long - if I remember correctly!

Hi everyone, have been lurking for awhile, love learning about the vintage machines. I have a FW (my grams), dressmaker and now a Red Eye which is the reason for this post. She is missing her bobbin case and throat plate. Any recommendations on where to shop for parts, also needs a new belt, size to be determined.She has an electric motor and would really like to convert to a treadle. Is this possible? I've downloaded Billys tutorials on disassembly and cleaning, that is our next step. I bought her at a country yard sale yesterday for $10.00 and am so excited! She has sticky white tape residue all over her (they taped instruction notes on her) She has been on my wish list for quite awhile. I have taken her out of the case she came in, really smells of mouse droppings, cleaned out their nest, Yuck! Now it is airing out on the deck. Her birthday is 12/16/1924 in Elizabeth New Jersey. Here are some pictures of her (name to be determined, lol). Thanks for your help and the great tutorials Billy!

She would make a great treadle - she has the correct wheel - or a hand crank!
Billy here carries all those parts if you want to send him a pm!
Congratulations!

Hey, Nancy--great minds and all that!!
Thank you Nancy. I don't do the e-bay thing, but will have a look. Now that I see yours I think it was a plain peice. Will also check at my brothers place this summer. Rose was stored there for quite a number of years. Brother saves everything, lol if I can show him what I am looking for bet he will know where to find it. Dixie
Dixie, look at page 469. That is my 127 with the Sphinx decals. The part you are missing is silver looking, but mine is not tooled, just plain with just a screw not a thumb screw. Your best bet would be to find a parts machine. Have you been watching e-bay?

Well I have been looking at parts sites to find a replacement and so far no luck. Rose is a 1924 Singer 127, made in Canada. As far as I can remember it was a silver tooled plate with a large thumb screw, but as I have had her for 38 years I could be wrong on that! Can anyone give me some idea as to where to look for that cover? Thanks Dixie
