the good old days, the good old days. all are Made in USA - cabinets, machines, accessories and they all lasted for over 100 years. and we're all using, fixing, looking at them with amazement. 50 years or so from now, can you do that to your $100 plastic sewing machine that is made somewhere in Asia ? wishful thinking...... how i wish they're still manufacturing singer's here in good USA.....
