I would love to have a Singer 66 with Lotus decals or a White Rotary that I could treadle...a Two Spool would be lovely too. I just want a few more toys.

It is a shame when the young do not appreciate the old machines.

Oh wow I wish I lived in Kentucky, or better yet, you lived in West Texas! I'd love either of your machines! Please don't send 'em to Goodwill. Try to put an add in your local paper or Craig's List. If nothing else you could sell 'em here.

I also wish you lived in IN. I'm in Martinsville, south of Indianapolis, and would love a 301. The only thing is that I had to promise my hubby that I wouldn't get another machine unless someone paid me to take it! FAT CHANCE of that happening! I can't complain, as I got a 1939 221, then a1928 99, and finally a 1945 221 all between May and Oct.

You surely could HIRE someone (the potential seller, for instance) to pay you to take it! Machine rescue is a good thing, IMHO.
