A couple new non-Singers have joined the flock. Stag Electric & NH Little Worker
I just love this new one! It's in excellent condition, doesn't require more than a little dust removal, and check out the motor. OK, I do need to find a pedal, and I'm still struggling on how to get the seller to ship the base cabinet with its chain lift mechanism.

It's a rotary electric with Hamilton Beach swing out motor, with a built in latch to hold the roller out from the balance wheel, pretty nice

There is a coil spring to drive the bobbin winder, like this

In the background is another New Home family arrival, called a "Little Worker" among other things. It is a shuttle bobbin handcrank, with a teeeny tiny little shuttle, which unfortunately is missing. However, I did find a link on ISMACS on how to modify a long shuttle and bobbin to work, so I guess I'll be trying that. (unless you happen to have said teeeny tiny little shuttle in your junk box!)

Now I need a hand crank NH, and the later series domestically manufactured Free Westinghouse rotary with a reverse.
It's a fun pursuit, and I have managed to get rid of 4 more modern ZZ Japanese machines, because they were just boring and didn't have center homing needles.
