I jut got off the phone with this guy.. ismacs by serial number show this as a model 28 , we know it's not a 28. It looks like a 15 or a 115, SoI called , he watched the bobbin turn, his reply was " it goes back and forth" = model 15.. I gave him to run down on teh machine, how to repair his belt and where to buy a new one in town so on.
Gave him my offer and why. He said he'd call me back , if it didn't sell, after this coming week. For me , it's a 200 mile round trip, new belt, gas.. I buy real leather belts, hose go for $12. even at my offer total cost will be over $100 without buying my hamburger. I really don't need or want another singer..
and then,, in eugene there is a singer treadle listed at $65 a tad bit rougher
