So I finally figured it out...here is my new 66...

Yep, I tried resizing a different way and it worked...THANKS..

Beautiful machine, enjoy!

a good gentle cleaning will get her as good as new - you don't have to take off all the varnish to get her working just fine. The varnish is actually good - keeps it from rusting out

Beautiful machine!!!!

Beautiful, love the Red Eye, enjoy Her

Lovely, lovely, lovely! I adore the red eyes!

Beautiful!!!!!! I have had good luck in finding parts on e-bay------

PRETTY!! :) Our Mizkaki (Cathy) will have the belt you need, and will get it to you quickly!! :)

Thanks...I do see them on eBay...I was hoping to pick up locally, but will use eBay as last resort.

Have you called your local repairperson? I think most carry them. I was lucky - my Redeye needs one, but my Leader came with an extra.

Auctivia (I think that is the spelling)
has machine belts
on EBay for $5 - $10.

I bouth one for my 66 (but the original leather one is working now).

I love the Red Eye machines, just don't have one----yet!

Your 66-1 just like mine except that your presser foot bar has been changed to a side mounting foot system.
You can see some of my machines here:

BarbaraSue,
I have 2 Red Eye machines, one works the other one needs a bit of TLC to get her moving again.

love your new baby.

She's going to be gorgeous once you get her all spiffied up!

Mesa, AZ - I know that this is over 300 miles away from Tucson, but you could call them. Singer has 4 very large shops (I think Singer owns these shops), around the country. When I was talking to Singer last week (two day event - but another story), I was told that when in the SW area that is the place that has ALL the Singer parts. I am away from my desk at this time, but I will PM you with the phone number. You can always call them when in Tucson and they can ship to you. Good luck - Snooks

If you have a shoe repair shop in the area try there. My husband just got a belt for the one he bought at a garage sale. Was like $16.

She is a beauty. Good luck finding a belt.

Hi there.....thanks for the suggestion of Arizona Vac & Sew for finding my machine belt. Got it and the shop was great..guess they have been there for a looong time. Friendly and helpful. Thanks again.
