Thank you, you have managed to put my mind at rest a little bit, I shall just have to be patient now, until it arrives. Going to you via Timbuctoo seems a little extreme though.[/quote]

Shipper did not put all the address on the label and UPS looked up a 7-year old address and rerouted it. Fortunately, I was watching its progress and called UPS to correct the address and send it back to its original destination. The box showed signs of wear, but the machine was in excellent conditon.

Lisa,
If there's no power cord, treadling it is a possilbility.

I don't know if anyone has mentioned this, but that is a 99K, not a 128K as the ad states.[/quote]


That 99k looks just like mine, except mine is in better condition.

Mainly treadles Singers, a New Home from 1870's, a Queen Anne that my Kenmore is in, I have the one that my 500A came in but it is for sale.

I have a main quilting bench in my shop that has a treadle mounted under it. I can change the wood plates out to accommodate the different machines I have. It will even allow for an industrial machine to be used if I want it in there.

If you have spent more than Billy, just remember 1) it isn't a contest and 2) you can spend less from here on out. LOL (not at your expense--oh, didn't realize that would be a pun... reallly not intended, as they say. :-D

ROFL. I'll live. I am just incapable of letting any opportunity of picking at Billy go by.......It IS pretty sickening though.....;)

Good then. He does need a little harrassment now and then :shock:


Boy you guys are tough :lol: :lol: :lol:

Does anyone think I might be able to use this instead of Gojo to clean my old S&N machine please?

If it has no pumice in it I say go for it! I think I know what your talking about because we have something close to that and it works great for cleaning your hands. You just do not need anything with a grit that will take the finish off of your machine.

Thanks Billy, I'm going to check to see what it says on the tin when I go shopping.

I can't find (in all these pages) a link for looking up manuals. I thought I saw one. Help! Will someone please tell me what page the link is on? Many thanks, in advance. I have a singer 206K, with a manual in a foreign (to me) language. I'd like to find one in English.

Then you should be able to get even more than $10K for yours, right? I heard a rumor that yours was used by FDR himself... ;-)
