Kit, that shuttle carrier is for a Singer 128, which is a bit different. I would not buy it, myself.

On e-bay, there is a seller named Cindy Peters at Stitches-in-Time. E-mail her and she what she has to offer. She may have what you need. I have found her to be very reliable.

I am so excited. I was looking at craigslist in Orange County (I have a DD who lives there) and found this 201 in a Queen Anne cabinet with the matching stool. I sent email to my DD to see if she could follow through and pick it up for me. Next time we're down in California to visit our kids I will get it and bring it home, but for now it is in my DD's apt. The cabinet definitely needs work. I don't know what kind of condition the head is in, but I'm looking forward to restoring it, with help from all of you. It's a 1948 Singer model 201 from Elizabethport. And as a novice in vintage machines, I'm so proud of myself that I could identify it as a 201 from the picture on craigslist.

I am looking at two vintage machines. One is singer model # ak848053. If my information is right(?) it's a 221-1 for $25. The second machine ia New Home model # 2645363 or 2645868 couldn't rtell if they were 3 or 8s. Can anyone tell me nore about these or where to go to get more information?
Thanks Frostiedee
