    I buy off of good will all of the time and usually have my friends in the area go and pick the machine up and I will get them when I am in the area.

    That is a 128 and I really like the machine!! That is is Charlees neck of the woods there.

    I recall all the trouble I had reseating the bobbin case for my 201k. OMG I thought I'd never get it back together.

    P.S. We're currently piecing a double sawtooth star done in woven plaids and shirting prints for my DS.
    Needle is new and in correctly; bobbin case checked out OK. I have been known to tear a machine apart before discovering I had the needle in wrong!! I would like to think I'll never take this one apart again, but I know I will the first chance I get. I LOVE to tinker.
    I'm working on a nursery set for my newest grandchild. It's not like I don't have 149 OTHER machines to sew on, including a 201 HC and 201 electric, but I LOVE sewing on this one!! I'll try again tonight.

    I have looked too after Charlee gave us the site. Lots of good deals if you can pick up. I notice there are alot in the Washington state area. That must be why she can find such great deals.

    I hope she hasn't let the cat out of the bag so we are bidding against her.

    Couple quick question. We have a singer G0376-815 also a G9614 619 also a number 31-15 is on the head under the bobbin winder. Can't get on needlebar yet. Can you tell me the year made?

    My mother had a Minnisota model B been in storage for about 30 years my sister has it and won't let it go. Stored in a shed. Has the coffen top cover. Would that be rare machine?

    Okay the first number is a 127 and 35,000 were allotted on September 25 1923. The second serial is for a model 31 that 3000 were allotted on that run on October 17 1922.

    And the Minnesota is not a rare machine but it is not found that often.

    That machine is really a low production run for that allotment, 3000 of them allotted on April 17 1958.
