Joe,
And as soon as I posted that, I found a current thread on here with someone saying their T&S 620-something has plastic gears! I guess you can count on metal in 600/603 and 600E/603E, and then you have to inspect any of the 620 series, and anything 630 through 700s is plastic.
I'll look through files on my old P4 computer for that Touch & Swear list. Most of my sewing machine collecting, I did in 1998 or 1999 through late 2001 or so. I sold off my surplus cabinets and such in summer of 2004, and I also built a brand new P4 3.0 GHz Northwood CPU desktop computer (ABIT socket 478) Intel 875P motherboard that same summer, and I ported all of my sewing machine data files from my old 440BX P III computers to the new P4. Is that not
ancient history now. But the P4 machine still runs great.
I feel disoriented coming back to sewing machine stuff after ignoring it for over 10 years. All of the web sites that I used to consult as reference documents are gone. The VintageSingers forum is empty. I don't see any of the people that I remember from back then. My Charles Law books and other sewing machine books are in commercial storage. I can't find a darned thing. LOL
