Welcome Oldmanriver! I'm in Texas. I love collecting and using my vintage/antique machines. I have 2 hand crank Singers, and 5 Singer treadle heads. Also Singer featherweights and 301s, 2 Berninas that are 20 & 26 years old and 1 Pfaff.

Hi Everyone
I am new to this site and sewing! I think my machine would qualify as vintage - it is a 1963 Singer and I have just had a new electric pedal and complete overhaul done. I just love the chunk chunk sound of it - my little electric Toyota just can't compare and since I am only just starting to sew again - since I was a young mum (now got grown grandchildren) it suits me fine. I doubt that I will be collecting any though as my house is far too small and the only room I can sew in measures 7' x 7' and that has a sloping ceiling! Love the site and the info and help it gives is just great for a newbie, thanks so much! Take care, Sheila

I think your screen name is awesome! Don't let anyone talk you into changing it. Welcome from Wisconsin.
found a Arlington Sewing Machine, # 153424 in the cabinet, all the attachments, keys, presser feet, boxes of goodies today at a local yard sale, picked it up for $25, seems to run well, smooth, seems well used and cared for. Even has all of the original pamphlets and such...mfg'd by the Cash Buyers Union in Chicago. All I need is to replace the leather treadle power band. But have had trouble finding ANY information about this machine. Some talk of it being sold through Montgomery Ward or Sears catalogs...back in the day...Anyone have any information or know of a location to point me to in regards this machine? I intend to use it for sewing.
I also have a Necchi with all the parts, from the late 50's or early 60's I think...it's called a 'portable'...if you consider 28 lbs. portable..lol Have found a place for a users manual and am awaiting its showing up in the post.
Looking forward to learning more about these machines and getting to know the folks here....
