how do you focus your "I'm a collector" magnetism to certain machines?

I love it Steve!
I'm interested in machines that have something unique or quirky about them - but they have to work well, too.
I think my collecting style is just like yours Joe! I'd love to know what other machines you have in your collection.

For me I'm pretty loose as far as criteria goes. If the machine adds something to our sewing machines or does something others don't do, or it interests me, or makes me curious, I'll go for it. ... one of the best sewing machines I have. Runs quiet, smooth, makes good stitches and isn't finicky at all.

Steve,
IF:
A; I didn't have so many I can't walk through the house already
B; I'm 2,000 miles away
C; My spouse would clonk me in the noggin
D; I didn't already have one ( what's that got to do with anything ... right )
I'd take it off your hands. If only for the box of attachments. My machine don't have any.

Steve,
I forgot to add; thread that machine up and try it. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised at how nice it sews.
frudemoo,
I've got Singers from the early 19-teens up to around 91 or so, but mostly in the mid 1900s. A couple New Homes, several Kenmores of various designs, and many Japanese machines.
There is treadles, cabinet electrics, portable electrics, and one poor hand crank 99K that doesn't have a home.
Too many to list individually.

Joe, If nobody else shows interest I would gladly ship you the attachments box.
A. sounds like a "space utilization" issue not a "too many machines issue" hehe (are you sure we need a kitchen....??)
B. "2000 Miles" is no excuse... I am shipping and receiving whole treadle units these days....
C. Ok, this one is good.
D. as you pointed out, irrelevant! hehe
