I see that the east coast is not on your agenda this time, but if and when it is, let us know. We've got a spare room.

    The east coast might be a good thing to do next year if I can talk my buddy in buying a bike. But I do not think we will be gone for the whole month like I am going to do this time. But if I head to the north east I will be sure to look you up!!!

    That is exactly what I thought Billy. Hubby told me to go ahead and bid on it but with shipping it was up to over $300. I am kicking myself in the hiney for not going a bit higher lol

    ok, this is my Singer 27. The decals are in excellent condition except for a tiny spot. It's filthy, though. The front drawer on the cabinet was missing a whole side, so instead of repairing it, I just had my husband fix it in place. It came with a puzzle box full of attachments, too, but they're full of green rusty crap that'll need to be cleaned off somehow.

    And this is my Raymond Model C. She was pretty gunked up, dirty, some rust, but she cleaned up really well with a little elbow grease and lots of patience. I need to find some replacement drawer pulls. The cabinet has a chain pulley system that lifts the machine out when the top is opened.

    It has a vibrating shuttle and takes hollow bobbins. The top leaf tension, which I'd never even heard of before, and that took me ages to figure out how to use properly, is genius in keeping perfect tension.

    Charlee, that is the machine I grew up with and learned to sew on. It belonged to my mother and now it is mine. It stays at my Dad's right where it has been sitting all my 58 years ......LOL!

    LOL Impatient!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

    I like it and the funny thing is I saw one somewhere on CL today for $100 in a cabinet. As soon as I saw it I thought of you and darned if I forgot where it was. I really like the machine and I think you will love it!!

    And your photography is wonderful!!

    Billy
    Thanks, Billy! What's really nice too, I have all the feet for it and the manual.
