This reminded me of the day I attended a Patrick Lose class at the local Pfaff store. I bravely took in my Viking and didn't worry too much about what the store owner thought.....as we were sewing our first session, Patrick looked around and asked who was using the Viking? I was busted then! (he is a big Viking fan :-) ). So they do have their own song.....

Thanks for all the responses. I have a singer 201 that I need to dig out and clean up. Thinking the horizontal bobbin will be quieter. Someone had asked if the 301 and 221 were oiled. Yes they are. love finding vintage machines, cleaning them up, then gifting or donating them. They are great work horses and very affordable.
Happy Holidays!
