Vridar

Referencing only the vintage Singers, and primarily the black ones, Singers are one of the few mechanical things that last over centuries and still perform their intended function, and perform it very well. They were made in such quantities that replacement parts are available. They, with few exceptions, require only available consumables such as the 15x1 needle, class 15 bobbins, and class 66 bobbins. With only moderate maintenance they will last one's lifetime. They are to the sewing industry what Rolex is to watches and Mercedes is to automobiles, but, within the common persons budget.
