Congratulations!!! Actually, she looks pretty good. Her decals are in wonderful shape, she just needs a day at the spa :-D

Which model is it? Is this your first vintage machine? If it is, it won't be your last....hahaha :D

She's a 1947. And the cabinet came with her!
No, I just bought a 1934 15 91 about a month ago- I've already quilted a small quilt on it, and I love it! Plus I have a 1974 (vintage?) Viking that I do piecing on. My DH is starting to worry!

Model 99? Good for you!

I went to look at a 201 today, also Craigslist, but decided to pass on it. It had electrical problems and she wanted too much $ for what I'd have to pay to get it working right. Too bad.

No, it's a 66, and I stand corrected, she's a 1948.

I'm just hoping I can find someone locally to fix her up.

I have a 66 but it's a 1908 and so it doesn't have the reverse lever. That came later... (It has the back clamping feet, too.) The 99s are like a 3/4 scale version of the 66, with that reverse lever. Nice machine and a super price!
