Also the Singer badge is much different on the 2 machines.

Here is an example of the white vs the tan. I found out from a friend that they had the Tan in the 1960's which that badge is from.

I've got a guess what's wrong question. There's a Singer 401 in my area for sale. The owner is selling very cheap because "they can't get it to turn on it just hums." Any guess what needs fixing? Motor replacement? I'm trying to see how much it would cost to fix and if it's worth buying.

The only thing about it is look at the card and the thread on the machine and beside the machine. I had 2 white ones in my possession and they were almost blue they were so white.

That's just plain weird! The cord is hard wired like the white FW too. HMMMM strange goings-on are afoot!
It looks like a white FW that has been painted tan. IMHO

What is "TO?" I am hesitant about ording 100 needles if I decide I don't want to keep this machine. I have the machine soaking with WD40 right now so I can get to the shuttle! I can't wait to try her out!
Quilt Addict if I decide I don't want to keep this machine, you can have it for what I paid, plus any parts I need to get! I don't think it needs anything except needles and bobbins, though!
Miz Johnny, you said the latest Davis Vertical Feed takes a regular needle. What years are you talking about? This machine is probably pre- 1900 to very early 1900. The patent date on the slide plate is 1886. The machine itself is in very good shape, minus a few decals. I can't find a SN nor a site to date the machine if I do find a SN?

Part of my fun is looking at all the interesting machines that are posted on CL at night while taking a break from quilting. Sometimes I find myself looking at machines that are posted on CL across the nation. My curiosity of the none Singers has me researching (how I found out about your new machine). I have learned so much about vintage machines this way. IF I had a wealth of money, time to travel, and space to store these machines, I would be taking a road trip across the nation. But for now this is my fun.

I found a Singer 15-91 but it doesn't have the power cord. How difficult would it be to find a cord?

I noticed that on the white fw it does not have the powercord that unplugs...that it is part of the machine or hardwired you call it?
