The search is over - though I didn't do the searching. Last Summer there was a Redeye on Craigslist in NJ. My son was working there, so I asked him to look into it. Neither of us could get a response from the seller, but that alerted Dan to the fact I wanted one. When he saw one in a barbeque shop in NJ, he knew why. He hunted NJ, DE, NY, PA, OH, etc. He found an'immaculate' one whose machine looked rough and the cabinet was in five pieces. He found $350 ones, but knew there was a $50 one out there because that was the price of the NJ one. Finally found one he thought was reasonable in Muskegon, MI. After dinner Christmas Eve, he and wife disappeared and carried in my present. Here she is - a 1918 Singer 66 with Redeye decals. The cabinet needs some work and the machine is very dirty, but he knew I'd be happy cleaning her up.
