Vintage Sewing Machine Shop.....Come on in and sit a spell
Okay, I took a look at the Singer Touch and Sew 758 last night and with a bit of oil she turns, but every few rotations she gets very stiff. Also downloaded a schematic and manual and realize that the only needle plate I have is the one for straight stitching. Yes I broke the needle immediately when tried the ZZ setting. Duh!
Does anyone have a T&S ZZ needle plate and any cams they are willing to part with?
I will get to cleaning tonight and see if sitting a day the oil has penetrated to that last stiff spot. Hope to also clean and touch up the cabinet and get this girl to a new home as soon as possible with minimal to no investment.

Well...I've made a decision...I'm going to sell some of my machines in order to get that 115 that I saw last Tuesday...now it's just a question of deciding which ones to sell!
I think... my Singer 9W...my 1924 Singer 99...my Centennial 201-2...my White Number 8....and maybe the AG Mason New Florence in the gold rose decal cabinet...
ARGHHH!! This is HARD!! LOL

Yeah....I'll CL them...I'd rather not ship them if I can avoid it! Hopefully there are folks out there with their taxes back and money to burn!
May part with some extra attachments that I have hanging around too....I think I have an extra set for W&W 8 or 9... will have to look to make sure...

Thanks Glenn...it really is hard to decide to part with them, but I *really* want that machine and cabinet...so need to come up with the $$...
I nearly forgot, I have that Brother Industrial that I can sell too! That might save one of my others...

Thank you Charlee. Kathie
Charlee, I feel for you trying to decide which machines to let go. I will make my 50 by 50 (machines by the time my 50th birthday rolls around) when we clean out my mama's house next weekend, and then I am going to thin my herd as well. I have a few sentimental ones, but need the room, and have pics of all the machines at work, and the project they made, so I am planning to rehome some by the summer. I have treated them well, and will look for good homes for them. I think I mostly want to want them, and fix them up and make them sew, if that makes any sense. Because then I am pretty well done with them.
