My husband rewired the original lamp so I can plug that in without having to use the motor. Lovely, beautiful stitch....

Treadlep, please post a picture when you guys get that table done! I want to do that someday, but at this time I just can't bring myself to separate my machines from their original cabinet!

Factoring in gas money, I'm not sure what kind of deal I got, but it was a fun road trip. Seller said she found it in the house they just bought, so no history on her. I've already performed her motorectomy. Some crazing and some rust here and there, I think she's going to clean up well. She does have the back clamping setup, but it looks like I might have a side clamp bar I can salvage off another machine so I can use the attachments I already have. SN G784285; Oct. 5, 1910; 30,000 allotted to Elizabeth, NJ. So, here she is, dirt and all:

Bennett, that Redeye looks like she will be very purrrrty when you clean her up!

Here's the 1949 Singer blackside 128-23 I picked up Saturday.

Most of these attachments belong to ? They attach from the front?

Haahahaaa! OMG! How big is that basement?! I'm a diligent worker; maybe it could be done in less time. :)
With Charlee helping and others maybe we could be finished
within a week!
I'll even bring food!

My DH said he would bring his truck and some mint tea!! Then when we get through with yours you all can come and help with ours. I think we have about 100 machines to go through.

That would work for me. WV on the way back from KY to Oh. Hey you're right on the way home!

Yes, we had a great cruise. Thank you Monica!

We had a very sad home coming, though. We lost Tarzan the Man, my 3.5 pound black Chihuahua. Our house sitter did not realize he was not drinking. He died of severe dehydration.

So sorry for your loss. It's so hard to lose a pet, they are family for sure.

Need an opinion. Is this a good deal?

Thanks!

I have a 201 and a 15-91 in that same cabinet nice cabinet and they are nice machines. You should be able to get it for a little less depending on the area. Check the wiring it may need new wire.

The attachments you asked about are "top clamp" and go to one of these:
Davis, New Home, Standard, White, Domestic, Kenmore, Free-Westinghouse, or National.
(list from the book by Charlene Phillips, The Sewing Machine Attachment Handbook)

Evidently there are 12 different sizes of these top clamp attachments that all fit different machines...
