You guys are so funny. You just reminded me that I own a 15-91 in cabinet. I haven't been able to open her up to use since I got her a year ago, due to space limitations. I also own a Singer 99, with 2 cabinets given to me by a collector friend who didn't want to do the cabinet work. She said there were just enough good parts (to the cabinets) to make one good machine setup. My husband is making me a small wooden base so I can use the machine on a table while I refinish the cabinet. I would love a 66 or 201 as well. Yes, I really just want my own little (working) sewing machine museum, or antique shop featuring sewing machines; since I also have a weakness for any quality old oak furniture. LOL A friend has many great old treadles in quarter-sawn oak cabinets. I'd love to have one of those. For any of you antique lovers, go see Jenny's website and reviews of old machines at "sew-classic" blog. I love how she converted a Singer 99 into a hand-crank! She links to most manuals for the classic Singers. Great pictures there as well.
We are now looking for our retirement property, and have agreed we both want a small house with big shops for our hobbies.
Not sure they'll be room for the grown kids to "move home", but I've decided we'll make a "bunk house" for visitors. I want a little land again, miss our 5 acres we had when the kids were young. I plan to have all my machines setup in working space. Can't wait!
