I tried and it did not go through - I sent 2 - one last night and one this morning - you may have to empty out your PMs sent AND received before it will let you get any new PMs

First what is a PM??? I just bought a Singer 15-90 and it is in beautiful shape in a beautiful cabinet. I had to order a new light. She needs a good clean but she works great. I would welcome a place to ask questions about vintage.

quiltdoctor, Nice looking cabinet for your WW. Hope you can get some pictures of the machince soon.

Congratulations on your 66, jan on 446!

Great cabinet, Texas Jan. Can't wait to see the W&W!

Thanks Miriam! I really would prefer electric.
Jan on 446

I have electric and treadle 66's. All red eyes. I really like mine.

Got some "before" pictures of the WW9. I had her on the table, so my chairs show in the background. I have hurt my shoulder and the Dr says not to pick anything heavy up. (makes it difficult) The seller thinks that she was the personal sewing machine of his grandmother. Her name was Elizabeth, so that will be the name the WW9 will have. Should get more info hopefully from her seller after he talks with his family more. She was seized up last night and wouldn't turn a bit. I oiled the heck out of her and she is turning fine this morning. Love these old machines !!!

Wow, poor machine. I am sure you will be able to clean and shine her up again. She looks almost as bad as the machine I brought home last Friday afternoon. I can't even tell what brand it is. The treadle cabinet is in bad shape - missing the top piece of wood (cover). It is a straight leg - legs made of wood instead of iron. Hope I can fix it up, but with the holidays comming it will probably get stuffed in the attic til after the first of the year. Oh, well.

I don't remember who, but I think someone here has a desire for Red vintage sewing machines. I saw these both on CL but the prices are out of this world. But I would gladly foster the first one if someone was so inclined.

Interesting that they are the same model.

Geeze, I want that Bel Air, but not for $275! I am still not getting e-mail notifcations!
