Seems like it might be nice to haul around - not too bad for weight.

The other machine followed me home and we let it in the house... OH my! I've been watching FOREVER for a Singer 319. This one needs some TLC - it has a bad case of neglect. I need a manual for sure. I don't think I can figure it out with out one. WOW. I'm sure it is pretty under all that grunge. The table is simply. drop. dead. beautiful. DH even admired this one. It had a handful of attachments and yes the bobbin case is there. It has a couple extra throat plates, too. I noticed it has an internal belt and an external belt??? Wonder why? How hard is it to get needles and bobbins?
