I read that anything over 50 years old is vintage.

Hi all, I'm vintage , too!:) Anyway the Singer 401 saga continues...Miriam, you were correct, it took patience, and some spray bottle isopropyl alcohol..works wonders but avoid getting it on painted surfaces and the motor.. So now it sews, but the needle is stuck in the far left position. Does anyone know about this machine and possible causes and cures for a stuck left needle bar? Can't do zig zag or any decorative stitches. Or, do I need to take her to the repair man? Problem is, my sewing machine shop locally and the only OSMG I trust closed this month, due to the lack of business due to the economy...I'm so sad about that. Thoughts anyone on the stuck needlebar?
Thanks!!!
Thanks!!!

Hi All! I'm going to be the proud owner, later this week, of a Minnesota A in a treadle cabinet. No pictures for now as DD and DGD located this beauty for me and texted me pictures of it. I'm not savvy enough to figure out whether I can access this kind of picture! Anyhoo, I'm wondering whether any of you own a Minnesota (Charlee, maybe?) and might be willing to help me find information on them. So far I've been able to determine it was probably badged for Sears and might have been made by National or Davis. Any help would be appreciated.
Oh, I put some lemon bars over on the table with some sun tea, sweetened and unsweetened. Jars are marked for you. Enjoy!
