There is an introduce yourself forum should you want to tell us a bit more about you.
Your 66 could be converted to hand crank should your three hour tour turn into months. ( hehe)
Welcome aboard.
I hope it's a pre-1960's machine. I've heard that 60's machines and newer sometimes have plastic gears. Any truth to that? I'm not sure when Singer quit making the 66.
I didn't get the serial number for this one to verify that it was a 66, so I'm not quite sure when it was built. This one was cheap so I relied on the visuals to verify, i.e. "ski slope" neck, badge placement, crinkle finish, back/tack switch placement.
