I just finished watching this video -and just loved it! Thanks so much for sharing. I am a small collector of antique Singer Sewing Machines - my oldest is from 1926 -sisters with 5 featherweight machines (4 are 221 and 1 is a 222). I also have 2 301a machines, a 306 which uses weird needles (as jn hard to find) and a 503 (the Rocketeer) which is a duplicate if what my Mom sewed dresses for me and my sister. My sister has Mom’s original 503. With this video I sure can see why these older beautiful machines are so treasured - they were produced with such care and workmanship, I wouldn’t touch a Singer made since the 1970s and with the follow-up video I understand why they are a piece of junk(IMHO).
Thanks again for sharing,
