Trash -or- Treasure
 

***
Yesterday on CL a man advertised Singer Cabinet for FREE (1st come).

So I shower quickly and go to see it (only 6 miles away) .

When I arrived he was standing on the street and helped me load it.
Started to leave and he says I have several more machines would you like to have them?

Well, OF COURSE.

Pic #1 is a Singer 1904 Sphinx (B722700) it has 1 bobbin & 1 Shuttle but needs a slide plate.

Pic #2 is a Modernage Super Deluxe Precision (S10675 on cast iron).
it is in a cracked plastic Fashion Mate case.
it has the bobbin & bobbin case but needs a belt.

Pic #3 is a Singer 1907 Flower design (H1534346) it has 1 bobbin & 1 shuttle.
No case needs a slide plate & in bad shape.
QUESTION: is that the proper wiring for this machine?

Pic #4 & #5 cannot find a # for the dirt and dust.
I do not know if any of the machines fit in it.
It is MOLDY.
It has the ADAPTER tray and man said a FW 221 would fit in it (?)
One drawer is missing.
I have the veneer sheet for the top.
NO BELT.

Tell me anything you know about all 4.


So tell me do I have a TREASURE -or- TRASH.

Very - quickly as I have dial-up at home and the pictures won't load. So I'm trying to get this in a few minutes. The two treadle machines are 27's and most parts are available. Sew-classic has the slide plates and bobbins. The shuttles (if missing) might have to be gotten on the auction sites. The one with (H1534346) is Tiffany decals - my favorite. The Modernage Super Deluxe Precision is a 15-clone and probably quite a decent machine. Many clones and even my 1972 Necchi-Alco has that kind of plug. One plug should come from the motor the other from the light. One end of the 'outlets" that those wires are plugged into goes to the foot controller and the other gets plugged into the house power. I think the parlor cabinet is a model 21. I don't know if ISMACS has it listed (probably) I'm sure the Smithsonian has some images in there trade literature, but I don't have the information with me for a link. I don't know about setting the featherweight in and sewing with it in a parlor cabinet. I suppose you could. All could be refurbished and/or restored to function as they were originally intended. It kind of depends if you want to put the time into it.

There are lots of posts about cleaning all these things up and back into service.

Janey - Neat people never make the exciting discoveries I do.

Wow, I would say free is a great deal, I would drive over for that deal too, Congrats!
