Billy, what an unbelievable transformation. That is just beautiful. Where is the wheel, is that it at the bottom?
What year was this made? Thanks

I bought a walking foot that I can use on my Featherweight for example.
I hope this pic comes through.

Whoa! That's a real beauty! I just bought a red eye that has the back clamping feet, too, but I didn't know they were scarce :shock: . I have read, somewhere, that you can switch the needlebar so that it is the kind that accepts the side clamping feet. Not sure how hard it would be to do.

Has anyone ever heard of a Free Man sewing machine? I have a chance to buy one, but have never heard of it. By the way it's a hand crank.

Dama, so sorry that your machines were damaged. That would just break my heart if that happened to me. Know just how you must feel. Lucy

Weedwoman, is it a color or black? How do you like to sew with the Diamond? You know that after WW2, Japan with money from the US, manufactured a lot of sewing machines. Supposedly, most of those machines were cloned after Singer's Model 15 and 99. These machines are suppose to be very well made and some say smoother running than the Singers they copied? They come in metallic blue, green, pink, yellow, and fire engine red! I want one of each color!

OmaforFour, beautiful Redeye! Geeze, it is in great shape except for the bent spool pin!
