I saw this on Craigs List - have sent an email to the seller to see if it's still available. If it is, I hope to see it tomorrow.

I'm assuming the $30 price is fine?? Anything I need to check if I get to look at it?

Thanks!

It looks like a model 15-90 to me which is considered to be one of Singer's heavy duty hard working machines. They were often called Farmer's wives machines because I guess they were used to mend a lot of overalls and farm work clothes. Singer made and sold a lot of these machines and they have a good straight stitch and use any low shank attachment including the Singer buttonholer or zig zag attachment. That is a good price for this machine and I think you would like the bigger harp.

Check the wiring. I had to replace some of the wiring on the one I bought. The old wire was brittle and cracked in places when it was moved causing the machine to run when the bare wires made contact with each other even if the controller wasn't being used. Otherwise, I absolutely love mine.

I want it too!

When buying vintage machines, check to see the bobbin cases and feed plates are there becuase these can be pricey for some machines. It's also nice to have any attachments and the manual but these can be replaced. You should also carefully inspect the cords. I just bought a Singer 201-3 at an estate sale and the cords were very brittle and cracking. I'm sure that someone would have gotten a nasty shock if they had just plugged it in. I had mine re-wired, serviced and cleaned for $70. My repair lady said one old machine literally erupted in a small fire ball when she plugged it in. Now she re-wires first before servicing vintage machines with suspect wires.
