Welcome to the QB from SE Michigan! I am glad to see you jumping right in with your love of vintage machines. I have a number of vintage machines and I love all of them. Of course I also have a few older than vintage machines. I try to take each one out of retirement from time to time. I had a Singer Touch & Sew 600 once and gave it to someone needing a sewing machine. It was a nice machine. Machines come and go in my house all the time. I will pick them up at garage sales in the summer and play with them. Many I have kept and many have been given away. I don't think I have sold a single one of them.
Please enjoy yourself here. There are a whole lot of vintage lovers here. Again welcome to the QB!
