Hello fellow vintage folks,
Went on a little scouting mission today and found a couple of nice machines..if anyone lives in the Chicago area you should go and get one or both of these. At the resale (TopHat?) shop for Delnor hospital in Geneva Illinois they have 2 machines. The first is a black 15 clone made in Japan , branded for Macy's in New York. Really nice, clean with great decals and a manual in a case for $75.00. No attachments. Very shiny!
Also, and here's the really good buy... a Singer 301, black, short bed. Nice decals. Clean except for a small dirty area on the base in the front, looks like it will clean up nicely. This has all attachments, oil can, extra bobbins, manual, and the case, which is really nice. I have this machine or I would have gotten it. Priced at $75.00. They may even be willing to negotiate. If some one does go get it, please post, as I may go back tomorrow if I can't stop thinking about it!
Happy hunting!
Jane
