First Thrift Store Find - 1948 15-91
 

I have considered checking out the local thrift stores, but I don't really enjoy driving around and wasting my time. I broke down and gave it a shot today, found this 15-91 calling my name. I already have two of them, but I like this cabinet and decided to buy it. It was $22 before tax and a little less than $24 out the door. Not sure how I'm gonna hide this one from my wife. It'll probably just blend in with the others. :)

This one turns freely but certainly needs some oil. I'll check out the motor and wiring after giving it a little cleaning.

I love the cabinet!

That was quite a find, a 15 with a potted motor. Can't beat it. Good for FMQ.

Nice! I really like the drawers and both the cabinet and machine are in good shape. We usually have the opposite problem here, hoping that my husband doesn't notice another machine. :)Actually he is pretty good about it, it is my kids that say another machine? Don't you already have one like that? lol

I don't have any duplicate cabinets, yet. Here's the whole family having a meeting in the kitchen.

I checked out the motor and wiring, certainly needs to be redone. Here's a couple pics of the beginning of the process.

WOW!!! I have my Aunt's 201-2, made in 1941, int hat same cabinet, with the stool.....It sat, unused for over 30 years, was filthy dirty, and the wiring from the motor to the plug was a mess.....after traveling from SC to NC and then home to Northern VA, I plugged it in and the light bulb even lit!! Motor needed only cleaning and greasing.......new wire from motor to plug, new rubber on bobbin winder and a new clutch and she is just PURRING!!! I love the cabinet that she sits in..........Yours in is beautiful shape! Cannot believe you got it that cheap. Love your other cabinets too!

You have a lovely family :)

Such a nice family !
