1956 was the last year they were made so this has a historical significance in the collecting world for sure. Funny thing is the last allotment for the "AL" series were the Model 15's and the serials ended in AL999999. What I would give to find that machine! Billy |
ok, looked everything up I could find about it.
Made on 2/14/1955 Model 66 15,000 made FactoryName: Elizabethport Elizabeth, New Jersey serial#AL957769 Paid $30 I just downloaded the manual...so now I'll clean it up and see if it works. If not, I can still use it in my sewing room for decoration. |
Thank you for that information. I've never felt the need to have an old machine, but then I thought "what the heck" it's only $30 and it looks pretty....lol.

Billy - you said 66-18...where is that listed? I always wondered where the dash and 2nd set of numbers came from?

My appreciation for older machines has really increased since joining this board.

Here are the pictures I promised. I did not put it back in the cabinet yet because the old varnish is coming off so I am going to strip it first. I used Goo Gone I purchased at the Dollar Store to clean her then wiped with a little Liquid Gold. I can't wait to get the cabinet ready so I really test her out.

I haven't used mine yet, so I'm not sure if it does FMQ. Maybe someone else will let us know. Thanks for posting the pics. |
Anyone know how large the throat is on a 66? It looks larger than the 99K. My parents sent me home with a 128, a 99K and wanted me to take the 66 that was in the cabinet, but I didn't have room at the time. Wishing I had. LOL! I'll get it soon. ;)

Saw one of these at a local shop and they were asking $60.00. It came in a cabinet and a knee control but couldn't find the plug and I am not sure what the cost would be to get one. Any ideas where I could find parts for it. Thank you, Joanne
