A couple new non-Singers have joined the flock. Stag Electric & NH Little Worker

I just love this new one! It's in excellent condition, doesn't require more than a little dust removal, and check out the motor. OK, I do need to find a pedal, and I'm still struggling on how to get the seller to ship the base cabinet with its chain lift mechanism.

It's a rotary electric with Hamilton Beach swing out motor, with a built in latch to hold the roller out from the balance wheel, pretty nice

There is a coil spring to drive the bobbin winder, like this

In the background is another New Home family arrival, called a "Little Worker" among other things. It is a shuttle bobbin handcrank, with a teeeny tiny little shuttle, which unfortunately is missing. However, I did find a link on ISMACS on how to modify a long shuttle and bobbin to work, so I guess I'll be trying that. (unless you happen to have said teeeny tiny little shuttle in your junk box!)

Now I need a hand crank NH, and the later series domestically manufactured Free Westinghouse rotary with a reverse.
It's a fun pursuit, and I have managed to get rid of 4 more modern ZZ Japanese machines, because they were just boring and didn't have center homing needles.

Awesome. That motor is super cool. It's so nice then you get one that's just dusty (I say that after just buffing all these pitted sections out of a Necchi needle and slide plate!!)
