Update on the W&W CL's machine: Yes, I went and looked and bought both the W&W (#9) and the White Rotary. Cabinet for the W&W is rough as in missing both drawers but had the coffin top and the belt was intact so I could play with it a little. The White Rotary is in good shape but the treadle pedal didn't move very freely. I could get it to move down but not back up again. Maybe rust and neglect or just needing some oiling or all 3. I also got attachments for the White and maybe for the W&W but I don't honestly know about the 2nd box of attachments. She also had a 3rd machine - a vintage Kenmore in a lovely cabinet. It came with bobbins (lots), attachments and a button holer. Yes, that one followed me home too. Paid $20 apiece for the machines. Now to get them into the house and perhaps somewhat hidden before DH and DD's get home. I will post pictures when I get them out of the van and try to get serial #s and such for all of them. As usual, none came with a manual but got a lot of old buttons and spools of thread so it's an even trade. The lady was just happy they were going to someone who would appreciate them. I cannot believe I was the only caller about them. ~ Chris
Update: Got them into the garage but need to tell DH about them before he finds them and wonders why I needed 3 more machines. I do have the vintage affliction but don't want the cure (if it exists.) Also, the house is being cleaned out and included a storage shed so if any more sewing items are found, I am the 1st one to be called. |

I got my first antique singer! Now I just have to find out who to take her to get re-wired and we will be good to go. Can I use my low shank walking foot and darning foot on her? Oh and she's missing the little knob on the front that you adjust when you change the stitch length i think? is this going to make it so she won't work for me? Can you see that the little knob is missing on the front? i didn't know anything about it when I bought her this afternoon. Oh and I got her for $60 cuz i knew I was going to have to re-wire her.
