Default Three for $120

Good gosh, this is like eating potato chips. I think the one is a 15-91. The green is a 185k and the third is a 99. All run, cabinets in pretty good shape. Haven't sewed with them yet.

Boy, they sure are in nice shape. I love the green one's foot controller (never managed to find one of these) and the 15's industrial style spotlight. Noticed the slide plate is missing on the 99 - hope you have it: Replacements are cheap but made in China and obviously poor quality plating.

Cabinets make it great value for $120. Well done!

If you don't have the slide plate you can get an original off ebay from a Singer 66 parts machine. They are not rare at all.

No slide plate, thanks for the tip on the 66. I will check out eBay. I'm glad these seem to be a good deal, because I could not stop myself. He also had a 401a, thank god I already have a nice one . I have some clean up to do, but on first appearance, they do seem in good shape. I don't know much about that green one, but I really like it.

Potato chips, I tell you!

From what I've read here, the 3/4 cabinets are not common, and now you have two of them. This seems like a great buy all the way around. Machines and cabinets are all in nice condition. That 185 looks like it was hardly used.

Thanks! We have a relatively small home so I am scouting a place to put these small little cabinets. Right now, they are in my studio barn for clean up and repair, but I do not want to store them out there. I am hoping to use these somewhere.

There is a lovely 301 on Craigslist here in a cabinet but they want $450 for it, which seems ridiculous--but I am glad, otherwise I'd be out grabbing it like a new bag of chips
