I found a Singer 66 Red Eye treadle machine with the cabinet. It is in rough conditon and parts of the machine are rusted. But the decals look good.I've been waiting almost 6 weeks for them to price it. It is at a thrift store. They just called me and they are asking $35.00.
Is it worth it? Will the rusted parts clean up? If anyone can help me I have to go look at it at noon today and decide if I want that much of a project.
Thanks, Judy
Depending on how rough is rough. $35 is not bad but you will have to put in some bench time to make it working again. Try and to see if it will function and not locked up, if it moves freely or moves at all then I would get it and go form there.
But there were millions of Red Eyes made so the chances of finding one the is really nice is in your favor!
