    Wow! Happy Birthday to you indeed! Those are some very pretty machines. Interesting about the Empira trying to outdo Singer and getting themselves sued.

    Sure appreciate knowing anything you can add. Even the slide plates are within a hair of the width of the Singer. But the stitch length/reverse lever is to die for! Well, if you're a Vtg SM nut

    Reversews is an add-on not a machine, as far as I am aware. It was a product made by Revco. (I posted the patent here somewhere...)

    I think I saw one of the Revco reversers on a VS machine on shopgoodwill not too long ago. I just looked, the machine isn't there anymore.
