Singer VS 2
I went to buy something else entirely, but then we got to talking and there was a sewing machine and it was a fiddle base and you know the rest...
The seller is making something with the drawers and coffin top, so I just bought the head, stand top (in bad shape - lots of missing veneer), and treadle base.
The machine moves very freely. I'm not sure it will clean up much - a lot of the decals seem to be actually gone, not just dirty.
Given that I only have parts of the stand, I wonder if this would be better converted to a handcrank. I've looked on eBay from time to time (just casually) and seen only repro cranks. Are vintage ones available for reasonable prices?
