Glad I am not the only one. Have my grandmothers Singer, black metal, very heavy in the wood case, she bought it new in 1950-51 when I was 5. I have a kenmore from the 1980's, early, a 3 thread baby lock surger from mid 80's, and a Kennmore 19000 made by Janome emboidery machine, a rebuild Janome 4 thread surger and a fairlen new 80 stitch Brother. Wish I had room to set them all up so I could use what I want when.
