Vintage Sewing Machine Shop.....Come on in and sit a spell
Hi! I bought a 'boat anchor' Wheeler & Wilson a couple weeks ago and am beginning to bring her back to life. I have most of the chrome soaking in evaporust at the moment. It's in pretty sad shape, poor thing.
I have a question about the Singer 66-13, the bobbin case rattles in my machine. I'm tinkering with it a bit, but one screw is cemented in place, which means I can't get into the case to see what is going on underneath. The bobbin case has a slight jiggle to it when it sews, which makes the machine pretty loud when I use it. Is this normal?

Regarding Charlee's post above, first, if I had my great-granmother's sewing machine, I sure as heck wouldn't sell it and as for the WHITE in the mission style cabinet, shouldn't they show the machine? Silly people
I wouldn't sell my mother's machine, let alone my great grandmother's machine, but people do it...
As for the White in the mission style cabinet? Chances are it's there, and probably well used... but the cabinet alone is worth the $50 they're asking IMO.

i think that little machine is adorable. this is one of those machines that would cause me to buy it just for decoration. i hope someone buys it soon so i don't have to think about it.
So Cathy was in Alameda today. That counts as a mini TOGA! It is fascinating how quickly Cathy can fix a sewing machine. Her passion for these vintage machines as she repairs them shows. She explains what needs to be done and why. Great teacher!
OR maybe I should call that mini gathering of two, Vintage Sewing Machine Gathering.
Need to come up with something different than a TOGA since this mini gathering really was not a mini TOGA. I'm sure the machines worked on were not just ones for a treadle since Laura does sew on other vintage machines with motors.
or maybe a VOGA
