The other two...one is a Singer that ran just barely...the wheel turned but the needle bar didn't move. I cleaned her up and oiled her and before long she was humming! Very quiet and sews a good stitch. The other is another MW "Signature" uses cams and sews like a dream. The lady bought it back in 1980 USED and had it serviced regularly. I'm gonna find a good home for these machines or take them to the consignment store. Except the one that needs wiring....I'll try my hand at this one before sending it on. Pics to come.
Randa, wish you were closer. I passed up a brown MWs for my grandson but still have that in mind for him.
Oh, Linda, that would be so cool to give this to him...I think it is brown. But as mentioned...it needs rewiring! I've never seen one before, so was surprised that it ran as well as it did. Much quieter than some of the old Singers I have. Why a MW for him instead of a Singer, if I can ask? And it is a bit lighter than the newer green Signature. That one is a tank!!!
