Yesterday(5/29/10) I bought a White VS machine and treadle cabinet, my brother-in-law got it at a yard sale for
$50, the machine has almost no decals left and is missing the front slide plate.
The machine and treadle all move freely, so I think I can make it into a usable machine.

Davis is a great sewing machine you should get it if it is all there and not all deteriorated and missing decals.

Thanks Billy. It looked pretty good so I will go back and check it out again tomorrow.

I really like the green Singer 15, such a pretty machine!
It makes my black Singer 15-90 look boring in comparision.

They had a few 15-91's that were the green color but they are next to impossible to find.

I got it! I got it! I got it!

I called the lady within minutes of her posting the ad and promised that I will come pick it up tomorrow.

I sew on vintage machines particularly the Singer 301..it does everything and more. I also repair them. I have some cadaver machines for parts.
