Default Fashion Mate 237

Wanted to share a pic of the Singer Fashion Mate 237 I picked up at Goodwill yesterday for $15.00. Like new, not a scratch on it. Needed some oil but otherwise perfect. All metal gears, only plastic is cosmetic. Sews like a dream. Even the case is like new.[ATTACH=CONFIG]415605[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]415607[/ATTACH] Sorry, can't see the nice stitches in this picture.

Very nice! Most of the ones I have found at the Goodwill have been not good, and often don't have a power cord.

I hope you find one. Wasn't really looking for this model but when I saw it just could not say no. Is twelve machines enough? NOT!!!

I must like them - I bought five of them -
GD has one,
DD has one,
I have two,
and I gave one away.

Yours looks great!

The only things I actively dislike about the machine are:
The power cord can't be unplugged (on the other hand, can't lose it!) and the thread spindles are unimpressive.

I have one and I love it! I never seem to find anything at Goodwill, but I have a friend who does. Congratulations!

That's probably the nicest machine of that model I've ever seen. Congratulations.

I have a 252 Fashion Mate. I like mine really well.
Is 12 machines enough? Not! That is right. I bought others after 12 too!! Then I traded some and bought others... it is an addiction or we can say it is a "lifestyle" and seem more normal (whatever normal is).
