I agree with Steve on the $10-20 price. I would buy it, but only because it would be a neat decoration to have in my sewing room.

Yes Mariah, I think confidence is a big part of it, and also being willing to go through the hassle. Since I don't have any newer machines, the repair man will be there for me on days when I just...

My husband likes to work on old cars because they're simple and there's no huge computer chips that are needed to make them work. I look at sewing machines the same way (the older ones at least). If...

Youtube. I just asked my sewing repair guy and, since it is how he makes a living, he instantly discouraged me by saying that the last place he heard taught that skill was jail. And I wouldn't want...

Okay. I really wish I wasn't this ditsy. Gutermann ultra thick thread doesn't work well. Plain old polyester is threaded and she runs amazing. Live and learn. *Sigh*

So I blew some air into the shuttle area and a bunch of dust blew out. It worked great. Then I decided I'd fill another bobbin and sew some more and then it got all tangled again. I know it is...

Maybe I should have asked this first, but...when timing the machine, should the tip of the shuttle hook be at the center of the needle (vertically), or at the center of the needle eye? I assumed when...

I love the machine. And I love the drawers too! I get excited about extra needles and little bits of fabric and tools. Craigslist is awesome for that sort of thing.

Need help with my 301

I just bought a 301 and the timing was off. I got that corrected (at least I think- I used the 221 service manual), but the top thread is still getting wrapped around the bobbin/ shuttle area. I have...

Okay, cool. I just wanted confirmation that vintage machine servicing is just basically delinting, cleaning an oiling/ greasing. I won't waste my money then!

Can I tune up my machine myself?

I see a lot of people send their machines in for an annual tune up to the sewing repair man and was wondering if I could just do this myself. I've taken machines apart, cleaned and lubricated them,...

I agree with those who like it. It looks so tough. Those old kenmores are supposed to be serious workhorses.

That is a beautiful machine. I would buy it. It probably does take a standard 15 bobbin; I think most of the Japanese models have a generic setup which makes it easy to find parts.

This is just speculation. I have a few machines that need new homes. I got the quote for 35 lb. shipping, from central pa to 90210 (that's an easy California zip code for me to remember :) ).

Ups store charges 30-40 to package a machine and it would cost 90 to ship ups ground from the east to west coast. They do allow you to take the packaged item to another carrier though. I still think...

I've never used the ups store to ship anything, but I'm planning to use them for shipping a cabinet. I still have to look into the cost of that.

Rodney, I think it will help if I have a picture of the machine in the box, wrapped up but unsealed. It will add some confidence to see that it's not sitting on a few bunches of newspaper.
