Three for $120

Good gosh, this is like eating potato chips. I think the one is a 15-91. The green is a 185k and the third is a 99. All run, cabinets in pretty good shape. Haven't sewed with them yet.

Boy, they sure are in nice shape. I love the green one's foot controller (never managed to find one of these) and the 15's industrial style spotlight. Noticed the slide plate is missing on the 99 - hope you have it: Replacements are cheap but made in China and obviously poor quality plating.

Cabinets make it great value for $120. Well done!

If you don't have the slide plate you can get an original off ebay from a Singer 66 parts machine. They are not rare at all.

How wonderful, it's like Christmas morning!! Happy for you!

No slide plate, thanks for the tip on the 66. I will check out eBay. I'm glad these seem to be a good deal, because I could not stop myself. He also had a 401a, thank god I already have a nice one :) . I have some clean up to do, but on first appearance, they do seem in good shape. I don't know much about that green one, but I really like it.

Potato chips, I tell you!

Great machines!

From what I've read here, the 3/4 cabinets are not common, and now you have two of them. This seems like a great buy all the way around. Machines and cabinets are all in nice condition. That 185 looks like it was hardly used.

Congrats on your "new" machines and cabinets! Terrific finds!

Thanks! We have a relatively small home so I am scouting a place to put these small little cabinets. Right now, they are in my studio barn for clean up and repair, but I do not want to store them out there. I am hoping to use these somewhere.

There is a lovely 301 on Craigslist here in a cabinet but they want $450 for it, which seems ridiculous--but I am glad, otherwise I'd be out grabbing it like a new bag of chips :)
