The other two...one is a Singer that ran just barely...the wheel turned but the needle bar didn't move. I cleaned her up and oiled her and before long she was humming! Very quiet and sews a good stitch. The other is another MW "Signature" uses cams and sews like a dream. The lady bought it back in 1980 USED and had it serviced regularly. I'm gonna find a good home for these machines or take them to the consignment store. Except the one that needs wiring....I'll try my hand at this one before sending it on. Pics to come.

It's a 128, not a 28. If it were a 28 it would have a larger balance wheel, a bobbin winder set at the foot of the pillar, and a thumb tab under the tension discs to free the thread. 28s are an older model, raising the presser foot didn't automatically release the tension, so you had to do it by pressing on the tab every time you removed your work.
The decals are nice. They are known as La Vencedora. Does anyone know why Singer had a decal with a Spanish name? |
