The funny part about it is that it was something that none of my aunts or uncles wanted and so the family put it on the auction. I told my dad that I wanted it and when it wasn't selling on the auction, he bought it back for $20 and gave it to me. Maybe I should do some research on it and see what I can learn. I thought I saw some real Singer buffs on this sight so I was hoping someone knew something about these machines. I'm thrilled to have it. :lol:
