Thought I would share. Found this White - Super 30 - Deluxe the other day. It appears to be in really good condition and with a little oil I was able to make my first couple successful sews over the last week. I had originally picked it up to do some light to medium duty upholstery work. Paid $60, given the condition, even came with a manual. The drop feed also works well, especially for thicker and layered material. Didn't find out until later that these models are kind of a dime a dozen, copied after the Singer 15-30, but a lot of good information out there. I will try to post a few more pictures later.

I have one almost exactly like yours but mine is badged "Capri". I LOVE mine. Something about the blue/green machines that attracts me. Is this your first vintage machine?

Well, she sure is pretty! As far as the 'dime a dozen' remark, think about what you would have to pay for a sewing cabinet with a custom insert for any machine. Or even a Sew Steady plexiglass extension. Your money was well spent.

Beautiful machine. Lucky you.

Thank you for the comments. This is my first collectible and have enjoyed getting to know how the machine works. I am still figuring out the details to get a good, reliable stitch with the proper thread. I know there are limits, but my hope is to be able to use a #20 needle with #69 polyester thread for vinyl work (2-4 layers).

I really ended up taking a liking to these older machines and their functionality. I also just bought a Singer 15-91 that is mechanically gear driven. I ended up doing a quick Google search on Craigslist for the 15-91 and there was one not too far from me and about 5 minutes away from my father. He looked at it this morning and appeared to be in excellent working condition and well kept. The seller knew he had a good machine and was firm at $80, no table, just a case.

So, I just went for it and now have two machines.
