I also picked up a Simplex. I thought it was a clone. It says Washington DC on it... It's bobbin area made just like another derelict old Singer I worked on last week. I shot it's nose. In the back ground you can see the little Green Riccar on the other bench.

The Simplex is cool... kind of scratched up.

Those were before I cleaned them up shots. I forgot to get cleaned up pics.

I also picked up a 'portable' Standard - Glenn I thought about you and Pat when I opened that one. [ATTACH=CONFIG]422632[/ATTACH]

Then there is a Singer 99 and a Spartan. Horrible shape. I hope they can be saved. I think it is the worst Spartan I've ever seen. I forgot to shoot them. The other machine is pretty sick looking too. Looks like maybe the pox. I found a cool tool. It looks like a screen door latch but it was a screwdriver... not very good - it twisted - someone had the right idea though.

I need to shoot a pic of that little green Riccar and do it justice. It is very nice. I'm thinking the Simplex has stolen the Riccar's foot control. [ATTACH=CONFIG]422635[/ATTACH]

I got these machines on the auction. Lately there has been a lot wrong with those auction machines... I'm wondering where they all were before GW. Our regular TS doesn't have anything good at all.
I want a little screw driver like that only good. That one doesn't have very good edges at all - someone twisted the ends as well. BUT it does fit in tight places.
