I thought with everyone posting photos of their trusty older machines, I would do so likewise. She is a 1950 Singer 128-23 whatever that means. She runs like a dream, but is NO FEATHERWEIGHT!!! She has a vibrating shuttle bobbin case with long, skinny bobbins. I am still learning to wind one correctly. She belonged to the great grandmother of my daughter-in-law. DIL doesn't sew. I probably should take her to have her checked out and see about getting new wiring that is safe.
