I found out last night that my brother has had an old Singer that my dad picked up at a yard sale years ago. Now I have it! I have to call to get the instruction manual.

wow, she is a beauty.Have fun sewing with her.pab

Very nice. Did you get her knee controller too? I bought a model 99 on an auction, but she didn't have her controller with her, and I havent bought one yet. I like the decals on yours!! Very nice. I know you'll have fun with her.

You can get a manual downloaded online free at ismacs.

LoriEl 05-01-2011 04:10 PM

Breadbox machine? There's no model number so I was going to call tomorrow with the serial # to get a manual. No knee control either.

I don't know but as soon as he found out I was interested he got it right out and gave it to me!

irishrose 05-01-2011 04:37 PM

The serial number is on that little plate on the right front of the bed. That's all you need to find the year and model here. http://www.singerco.com/support/serial_numbers.html Let us know what you find out. I have an idea and would like to know if I'm right. Or post the number.

I downloaded my repro manuals free from sewclassic.com

It's a very pretty machine and your bentwood case looks good, too.

littlehud 05-01-2011 08:22 PM

What a beautiful machine. Have fun.

hobbykat1955 05-02-2011 02:28 AM

My "redeye" is a model 66 and uses class 66 bobbins which you can get at Joann's. They work fine except won't fit on bobbin rod on machine. But mine wind on the 301.

Yooper32 05-02-2011 03:24 AM

That looks to be a vibrating shuttle, so your bobbins will be the long skinnies. Hope it has the shuttle in it, they are expensive to buy.

EllieG 05-02-2011 03:43 AM

I have my Grandmother's machine that looks just like yours. When I try to look up it's serial number I can't find a match. The number is GO510339. Can anyone help me?

sewphie 05-02-2011 04:50 AM

I have a Singer that came over with the boat from England,my MIL was a war bride.It has a wooden case like yours and I love it.

CarrieAnne 05-02-2011 05:06 AM

Such a pretty machine!

cjaye44 05-02-2011 05:32 AM

she's a beauty...all she needs is a little TLC and she will be good for another 50-60 years!! But beware...this is addicting...because she will need company :lol:

I got the serial number and looked it up but the earlier machines don't have manuals on line. They give you a number to call. I am not home but will post the serial number later. It starts with AC so I know she was born in Eliabeth, April 24, 1929

Campbell34 05-02-2011 06:58 AM

That dometop is beautiful, I have three of them, Does yours have the shuttle bobbin or the round bobbin? Mine has the shuttle bobbin,I never had instructions for mine , They only sew forward and you turn the material around to sew backwards, For many years that was the only machine I had, It sewed lots of polyester shirts for my former husband , he loved western shirts, he was 50 in the chest and 36 in the waist, not easy to buy shirts like that so I made them,I keep them oiled and sitting up on my pot shelves , One in the dining room, one in the living room, and one in my bedroom, I also have a treadle that we restored in the living room behind our couch,also a shuttle bobbin machine , I just acquired a clone of the 221 singer to take when I go camping and want to sew, I am blessed :thumbup: :-P

pollym44 05-02-2011 07:06 AM

Just pulled out mt GM's treadle machine. It was a 1929 also. Have a machine repairman who says he has all the old belts and restores them. My 6yr old GD says she wants it, she's trying to learn to make tops. Trying to make one for her kindergarten teacher. NOW, DH says his mother has one in a storage house at her old house. About to make a mad dash out there since she passed and "the young folks" don't have a clue to the value of that machine. Congrats on yours--I'm feeling Blessed about now!!! :thumbup:

jeanneb52 05-02-2011 07:19 AM

Lovely...enjoy. I love vintage machines.

ShirlinAZ 05-02-2011 07:21 AM

She looks just like mine. Billy (lostn51) says she is a La Vincendora model 127. Mine was made in 1925. I downloaded the owner's manual and the repair manual, but I don't remember where; I have it as a PDF on my desktop. Just Google Singer Model 127-128 owners manual and I'm sure you'll find it. My case doesn't look nearly as good as yours, and I'm missing most of the attachments and the cover on the right side of the case. Your's is lovely. Lucky you!

meow meow 05-02-2011 07:30 AM

Hey I have one of those too! Beautiful machine.
