The shortbed looks bigger than the longbed, is it? Or is it the way pic took?

No, it's not larger.

Kathie, can you e-mail me Cathy's number from the TOGA - I lost it!

Nancy
Those 319s have an odd plate. I wonder if you can have it drilled out.
That's a good idea, Miriam. It could be drilled out.

I would take it to a machinist that works on engines or it could go ugly. It is a very odd plate.

Nice machine and well worth the work you put into it yesterday.
Cleaned up really nice and all the goodies with it. I am glad I could help.

So far I’ve:
Kept 24 heads and 3 cabinet/treadles for myself
Re-homed 34 heads and 12 cabinet/treadles to others
Parted out 26 heads and 1 cabinet
The rest are waiting to be re-homed, or used for donor parts.

Yes, there were some treasures.....at least to my way of thinking. (Notice that I’m keeping a bunch of them? ;)

CD in Oklahoma
I would be like a kid in a candy store...

Does anyone have a White Rotary 77? My neighbor came by today and will be gifting me one. I've found some info. about them on the net but would like to ask a few questions if someone owns one?

I'd like it to be mainly photos - we can comment on here or pm. It won't be until later on. Just be ready to put your 15's pic on there please - I'll send a link here when it is ready to go.
And a special thanks to Melinda for making it all possible! She is a real fan of the 15 clones too.
Miriam - I have a question - is the White Model 65 I bought (pictured on page 1764) a Singer 15 'clone'? It has the numbers J-A15 near the serial numbers and the tension is on the front like the clones- sure looks like one to me. I found a manual, but I couldn't find anything else about it.

Miriam, that is a good idea, but I don't want to take a chance on ruining the single hole plate! I will just have to find a zig zag plate!
