Jan,
You might be able to get some more info on the machine, particularly when it was built by looking for the serial number and checking out this website:
http://www.ismacs.net/singer_sewing_...al_number.html
I found out my old Red Eye was bult in 1916. (found it at Salvation Army). It is just the head, no cabinet -- but I couldn't let the poor old thing go w/o a home at Christmas. So I bought it for $20 and managed to get it working. Just need the needle assembly and cabinet now! :-D
Enjoy your new friend!

Both times there was something in the foot pedal that got stuck with the machine running. My DH took the foot pedals apart and fixed the problem. The Janome Platinum is known for that problem. I have other friends with that machine that have had the same run away problem.

Nancy, guess who is working on the foot pedal ...DH showed me a wire not attached to anything. He is working on it now..............He just came in and told me to try it out, guess what, it still races. This machine is now up for grabs for anyone who wants it !Anyone local who might be interested please PM me. Thanks all
