Kathie I always thought the 66 was the best machine singer ever made. Glenn
How cool is that. I just folded up my 66, in order to 'open' my 301 and 403. The 15 is still mid clean/rebuild. The 27's are back in the case. I wish I could have them all set up, all the time...and play! Thanks Kathie about bringing up the potential for the foot being an issue. Usually, when I have a problem with a machine, I think it's operator error first off.

Here's a thought.... on the older, straight stitch Singers, clones, treadles and such; has anyone done a check list of what things to 'check' first when there's a problem? Like a trouble shooting guide? That might be a good sort of document to have, especially for newbies to the old ladies. ???
