If I can get a Model 66 for under $50, is that a good deal?
And are Vestas (hand-cranks) a good machine? |
I picked up a 66 w/cabinet for $10 and a garage sale last weekend. Needs a belt, new cord, spool pin and a major cleanup. No attachments or manual, had one bobbin. I think I did OK, it was a 1949 year, so I think that made it a 66-16, not sure about that. Lee

Well, go make an offer and if you get it, just pack it up and ship it to Mississippi. I only have 1 antique (and 1 on the way) so I can find room. HeHe :)

I just had an email from my son who found 2 x sewing machines on Freecycle, the poster said they had been on the side of the road (probably council cleanup) and they took them home, 'one is a musky pink Stirling brand and the other is a pale green Singer with red and gold detailing'
Hopefully I'll get to collect them this weekend along with the other two he got for me a few weeks back. Talk about family being enablers!!! LOL Will post photos once I have them home, now to figure out how to get more hours in the day....anyone know? It's nice they think of us even though they have their own busy lives, isn't it?

I'm looking forward to how you go about correcting the problem of the treadle belt hitting the metal part of the machine under the bobbin area without cutting the metal area out like some others have done. I don't like the idea of defacing my machine; so, I will just live with the little bit of rubbing that the belt does against the metal for now. Have fun with this project! Billy |
