This has got to be the last one
 

I went to another estate sale today and there in the midst of all of the dishes and kitchen items sat this Singer 500 sewing machine. It did not have a manual but did come with a cute little plastic box and lots of feet and cams. It ran a little rough and the tension needs some work which my OSMG will gladly fix for me, so the lady dropped the price from $25 down to $20. Well, I just couldn't resist. But this absolutely has to be the last one I buy. I am running out of room. I just bought a 401a a couple of days ago and last week I found this gorgeous crinkle finish 128 in what I believe to be never used condition. Here are pictures of my $20 Singer 500.

Nicely done. I'd always make room for a $20 Rocketeer.

I can help if you have too many sewing machines. LOL!
If seems that they appear out of nowhere .... all these sewing machines.

That one looks pristine! Color me envious!

Looking good!

I have this exact machine with the instructions and lots of cams and feet and in a cabinet ! It was given to me by my husband's grandmother. I use it for "heavy duty" sewing. It is a very reliable machine! I have the receipt dated 1961. Grandpa paid $361 for it!

That is interesting. I have been fooling around with it a little bit. I downloaded a manual and discovered the needle was in backwards and it was threaded wrong. I adjusted the bobbin tension a little and now she seem to just click right along. I think I am going to really like her.

It is lovely

just can't pass up a good deal!

Great find!!!!!!
