Joe, does your sister in MN want to take a trip to the middle of South Dakota and pick up a load for you?

Or do you want to make a side trip when you come to visit? I've already got rid of the poor quality machines and would still like to trim down my collection by 25-30 machines, and I also want to trim down my attachment collection - most I do have labeled what it fits, though I still have some I've never figured out. I also have quite a few Singer cabinets I want to rehome.

Look at all those Red Eyes, all in a row! The machine at the front of the right row has some gorgeous decals!

Way cool about the motor mount. those beasties are RARE "I do have a really cool motor mount for Singers which clamps to the back using the hole at the back top of the pillar"

Leon, pictures of the motor mount attached. Is this what you're thinking of? I think I need to look into 3D printing costs, I would have the bottom half different as far as attaching motors.

Wow. That is not at all like the ones I've seen before. Is it Simanco? looks simpler than others I have seen pictured.

Thank you for the great pictures!!! I wish they had used one of those on a couple of machines I have. They have holes drilled in the back of the pillar and hard to reach the screws to adjust.

What are the specs on the fiddle base machine? Year, model etc. looking for a fiddle base 15-1 or a Singer Improved Family late 1800's in age. (probably a needle in a hay stack find).
