Hi Sharon! Thanks for the welcome! I'm in MI.
My avatar pic is what brought me to this site. Stopped at Goodwill yesterday cause my sis had just got a super nice vintage American made stained glass lamp there for $8. We both work in glass and know what to look for.
Anyway the store is on my way home and thought I'd better stop and see if I could find a treasure. They had a Singer (AH226962) in a cabinet (56) for $35. I checked the handwheel, it turned nice and smooth so I told the clerk I would take it.
Then she said they plugged it in for someone else and it didn't work so she would lower the price if I still wanted it. Got it for 25 in the end. Not sure if its a 66-16 but think so. Also not sure how far I have to tear into it to clean it up well. The cabinet could use a refinishing though.
Oh... and the best part...IT Works! They either didn't plug the cord in all the way, had a bad outlet, or tried the knee lever without the petal in the cab (like I did at first).
