I'm new to QB and loving the antique stories and pictures. Recently, I've joined the ranks of sewing machine collectors. My first, a converted OEM hand crank 128, got me hooked. Study convinced me I needed a 201, a 15, 66, and 99. I've found them, and others, much to my bank account's demise. Actually, they are not the major investment, shipping is the major cost for us rural collectors. Believe me or not, my 201 cost 29.95 and only required reversing the needle. My 15 cost $0.99 plus much more shipping and handling then required and a heated discussion with the seller. The 15 only required a male electrical plug. Of course, I've oiled, adjusted and enjoyed each until the next acquire. I have a 128 lever in nice bee-hive case looking for new wires. I've tried it out and not much will be required, however, like the seller posted, "It looks dangerous." We'll fix that. Anyway, thanks for the postings, I am really enjoying them. - Ron
