NC REDBIRD-----Best way to find current prices is to go to ebay and search for your machines under "advanced search" (see next to the search box and click on that. Then choose "completed listings" after you enter your machine model. You will get the prices paid and pictures and information that the seller posted. You can figure out that if you sell them locally you can get more or less what they are going for on ebay. (You cannot just do a regular search on ebay, cause there are crazy people who list a rusted hunk of a machine for twice the price of a nice clean running machine. Their machines never sell!)
(Prices vary by location, also. I got three machines in the back hills of PA for total of $25. Never see deals like around my area.)

Wow! What a wealth of information here. I just spent a l o n g time reading about 200 pages.
I am happy to be joining the vintage club with my "new to me" Singer 99k. I just got it at a junk shop for 25.00. All I needed was a new light job and some oil to get her going.
I have some Singer slant attachments if anyone wants to purchase them. Pm me.

She has a series of 8 on U tube. I would watch them all before I did too much. She has really good info.
If the machine is locked up - then you may need Billy's "spa treatment" or a partial spa treatment .
Just be sure and use sewing machine oil. Avoid 3 in 1 oil.

Is anybody looking for the old taylor's machine. It is considered industrial. These are a very good machine. I bet if you treadled it you could move some stuff through.
