I have 6 vintage Singers - a 66-6 (my grandmothers 1937); a Singer 99 (1953 from a flea market) $55.00 which my DH turned into a hand crank with the help of Jenny at Sew-Classic (I told the DH I needed it if there was a power outage during a big project LOL); a 221 which is a Featherweight 1955 purchased on ebay $180; a 301 purchased at a garage sale for $20.00 including the cabinet, stool and a box of "stuff"; a 301a purchased on ebay $125.00; and my last one on ebay which is a 99 - 1923 in a coffin case for $127. So you can see, I don't have a huge amount of money involved although I have purchased belts, feet, etc for them. They all work beautifully and are stocked with different colors of thread and when I am piecing, they are all at the ready to work for me instantly. The stitch and scant 1/4" seam is the same on all of them. They are quiet, dependable, sew a beautiful stitch and the maintenance on them is a breeze. They are so solid and dependable.
