Me too, J Miller, mine are uncounted all over my house, my sewing room, my husband's workshop, and under a queen size bed because I have to snag a grandkid to get one out for me. I purely just love them, can't stand the thought to trying to find a new home for them.....I have my favorites where I can get to them easily enough, but even at that, I sometimes have to move something out of the way when I want to sew on a particular one......no hoe for me, huh?

No "hope" for me, huh? I didn't catch that typo, got to typing faster than my brain could read it.....

It is actually a 127. Unfortunately that is one machine DH had problems with - it was filthy inside, worst gummed up ever. So he decided to put it in the laundry tub and scrub it out. I eventually forgave him - and he will never use water near one again.

Thisis the one that replaces that one in my collection - it is still in GA



And this is what I bought to ease the pain . . . This one is a 27



I also have a quite worn 127 sphinx machine -that one needs a home.

Ok- here is the "second string" and I realized the worn machine is a 27, not a 127. All of these plus a few more will eventually find new homes - hopefully.

The worn 27. I bought this one in a near prestine parlor cabinet - and then I found the above 127 in the same parlor cabinet - but the cabinet looks like it sat by an open window in the rain one too many times. So I'm mixing and matching to have a really nice 127 in a really nice cabinet.



And a 66 along side a wringle finish, black side 128. We took off the motors to keep them inside, but I think both of these could be made to work. We do have the "missing" parts as DH swapped a few around.



And behind them (from the top) is the sorry 127, another 66, a Viking 21 that has been used for parts - case is shot too. The lowest is a 115.




Then I have two red eyes - and believe one working machine could be made from these - maybe they could both be gotten to working - one is a back clamp in very bad shape, the other is a side clamp. I don't recall where I picked up the second one. . .



And on the end (left to right) is another 115, 15-91, Touch and Sew 645, and a 201 that we took the motor off. That 201 is seized up tight - pretty much rusted together.



In the house i have the Free treadle and DH is just finishing up another 15-91, and I'll probably part with my Red Eye back clamp if I find a nice 15 Treadle to replace it.

If you wonder why I have so many machines I don't want - it's because I collect cabinets too.

I'm kind of hoping a few of these can catch a ride when we drive from SD to GA this fall - to their new homes. There is no local market for them, fixed up or not.

You'd be home at my house. In my office I have 17 machines...I'm checking into rehab tomorrow, maybe we could get a group rate!!

You'd be at home in my house. I have probably 15, maybe more, in my craft room and over 50 in my house plus I keep buying them as does my husband who is my chief enabler. we took a road trip today to get one but he wouldn't let me get the free kitten that was offered.
Yes, without him I'd be the crazy cat lady with a ginormous collection of sewing machines.

ok, I'll play. My Living room. Can you spot all 9 machines? (actually 10, but one is not visible in this shot)
