I bought a machine off craigslist thinking I might be getting a machine with an external motor.(severely blurred picture- see below). I get there and it's a singer 201, for $20 with the cabinet and attachments. Only problem....... it's completely frozen, I can't even drop the presser foot. So it'll be my next cleaning project.... enough elbow grease and it *should* move again, I hope. Does anyone use one of these? Do you like it? I usually stick to treadles these days, but her decals are almost perfect and the cabinet is unique if I can get her working again (i'll post pictures when my camera stops having a fit).
Serial AK552279 born July 26, 1951 in Elizabeth New Jersey. She has always been electric.
Billy.... can you tell me how to take the motor off/ out of this machine? I need to give her a bath. Also she needs the needle plate if you have one.
Thanks,
Cheryl
