Worth it or not?

Consider that if they were selling them for $2.50, they probably viewed them as valueless/worthless and had no one purchased them, those excellent machines might have been put on the curb as trash! You didn't buy them so much as rescue them! Well done.

I have been sewing on my 401A since I purchased it in 1962. It is a great machine. I paid around $260.00 for it (including the cabinet), which was quite a bit a money back then. It has made clothing, doll clothes, quilt tops. I love it. You made quite a haul!

I have seen beautiful side tables made out of a treadle base. A little spray paint and a top of any kind. Wood with a clean edge or a scrap of dark granite to match all the black gears and fancy scroll work would be beautiful.

Is that one a singer golden touch and sew model 630? I am desperately looking for one as I already have one and need another one to help me fix this one. If it is would you be willing to sell it? I love this machine. It is what I bought with my first income tax check back in 1969. I amde $20.00 a month payments on that machine and love it to this day. Please let me know if it is and if you would sell it. PLEASE???????

I wish it were! It sounds like a fabulous machine. The one I have here is a 600E Touch and Sew. If that matches up, you can just have it for shipping! It obviously needs work - a cleaning at least. I haven't begun looking it over to see what it needs, if anything. I will certainly be on the lookout for one for you, no matter what.
