Yea :thumbup: :lol: My new sewing machine motor and foot pedal arrived a couple hours ago. So I set to work on my mother's old sewing machine, got it working and actually sewed a sample on it! I even re-wired a new plug for the light! For those of you following the "old Singer" thread my machine was made in 1936 and I learned to sew on it. My mother used to close up the cabinet with the cord still attached to the machine, caused a short in the wire and thus burned out the copper windings in the motor. As far as I am concerned it was well worth the nearly $100 it cost me. I am in heaven. Now to get to work on a freebie very similar to this one I picked up on the side of the road a few years ago.

awesome, have fun sewing on the old singer!

do you have pictures of your mom sewing on it?

Only in my mind.

Good job! Love those old machines.

I'm so glad you got it working. A wonderful old machine with great memories.

I love old singer machines.. yep, they are worth it!

Congratulations! I will keep you in mind if my machine doesn't work - your hired!
