Hey, Billy. I also have a Singer 500A. Mine's been sitting for a while and needs a good cleaning. We moved last January and I'm FINALLY getting my sewing/quilting area set up. I have an old Singer table that was my aunt's and my "Rocketeer" fits in it perfectly. I really should refinish the table, but probably won't do it now...maybe next summer.

I also have a Featherweight, a Singer Model 66, and a Singer 99. The Featherweight sews beautifully (of course!), but the 66 and 99 need some work. Someone put the 66 and 99 in the upper storage area of the garage when we moved; my hubby is supposed to bring them in the house so I can at least clean and set them up in my sewing room. Hopefully we can get both of them running so I can use them.

I like how you've got yours displayed. Thanks for sharing!

Wow! If your are down sizing, I'll take one. Wow, those are nice. I was looking on Desk Daves site of refurbished sewing machines and love them, just can't afford one. You are so lucky!! I would love to have just one.

I can refurbish a FW or a regular machine for a lot less than what he is doing them for. I guess that is why I have so many machines around me that I am redoing right now!

That is a really nice machine to get a hold of!!! You own a very desirable machine and I would like to find one one day. And I am not a Featherweight fan at all. (but you didnt hear me say that ;) )

Billy, you're dangerous! That vintage machine bug has bitten, and I'm always looking for good vintage/antique machines now, even though I don't really know what I'm doing. Looking at all of yours only makes it worse. There's no cure.
