Get back in the water, it's the only way you can learn to swim!! Information is abundant. Join Needlebar, and go check out the Yahoo groups for the types of machines you have. ISMACS is an excellent resource too! You can't take the machines with you when you die. So, you might as well start educating the next group of stewards by being inclusive. That means making it easier to find information on these vintage machines on the internet. |

Okay I can see now that you all can not see what I am seeing with the machine and I hope that when it is out on the floor for everyone to play with that they will be able to catch the subtle things that make this quite the nice machine. Take some time and really study it and you will know why I want to buy a couple........... And yes this machine will be sought after like the Centennial in a few years. Billy Besides...the Centenial models don't sell for more than what our moms and grandmoms paid for them...~shrug~ Sewing machines are simply NOT a hot item..look at what we get our old machines for...unless it's rare, and trust me, they'll make enough of these for it not to be rare, sewing machines aren't a smart investment. Just my two cents. |

I wonder if they were more popular in the East? Interesting how certain machines and styles seem to be more prevalent in different areas. Lots of Singers here, not as many other brands. |

Why waste resources on new machines. These old ones will work just fine maybe some need TLC but not very hard to come up with a lot of bang for the buck. AND these probably would mostly be around in $75 years. What is out there where you live? |

Just my two cents. My Singer VS2, which is 125 years old, still makes a pretty stitch. I got that one for free off of CLs. I just needed to reassemble the cabinet that was missing the screws, handles and nuts. I had all of those parts from another cabinet (free) that had seen better days. |

The first one is a pretty greenish gray, second is a fun one, third has the stool with it, and fourth has the beautiful cabinet too. |
