$2 is a great price. Our local guy charges $20 and some charge $30. Keep looking. It saves a lot of money and aggravation.

Nice find!

Very nice shape, good for you. I rarely find anything at our thrift stores, they seem to be picked over most of the time. SA and GW all have huge prices on their machines.

LOL! DH and I call it her "speed fin" - it helps her run in a straight line!

This was from a Goodwill, believe it or not! I've found a few machines in the $15-30 range there, which always surprises me. Usually in cabinets, but not always.

Wow! Great find!!

I love reading about all you gals & guys sewing machine finds. I always thought I did not need or want another machine. I have a Janome 6600 MC Professional and just love it. Also have a Elna 2006. It's a simpler machine than the 6600 and not computerized. So why no I need another one. After determining that I don't need one, just want one I feel like going on the hunt. Husband and I are going to South Padre Island, TX for 6 weeks and we are taking his pickup soooooooooooo that means more room. We are going to stop at every thrift, treasure shop, or whatever and I will keep my eyes open for sewing machines. Of course, I would like the coveted Featherweight but any older Singer would be a possibility. Anyway, wish me luck hunting from Minnesota to the southern most tip of Texas. Will keep you informed if I find anything.

LOL and so it begins. I hope you have lots of room in your house(or are willing to part with furniture to make room) because once you go down this rabbit hole of finding old sewing machines it's hard to stop. 6 years ago all I wanted was to replace my moms machine that I had given to my DD. 50+ machines later, .....lol.

Great find! Congratulations!

I wil not go down the rabbit hole, I will not go down the rabbit hole,I WILL NOT GO DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE-------Where is that hole again!

I have my Mom's Singer just like that one....don't currently use it, but know that I have it. Glad that this one found a good home.
