But don't you feel like you are doing such a wonderful thing by giving these machines a loving home? LOL!!!

We don't really need any more sewing machines especially electric.

Here's pictures of the 128 I told you about eariler. The one that we got for $16.00.

I bet someone on this group can answer that converter question. I am curious as to what either Billy, Miz Johnny, Charlee, or some of the others think. I bet one, if not all, of them has faced the same problem.

I know you can get a converter, but you could also just put on a new motor. I have a Singer 320 that came with a 220 motor, and chose to take the motor off and replace with one from a class 15 machine that had been made into a HC.

I took the motor and light off my Singer 99K that had a 220v motor and used the motor from my 15-90K that I now treadle. I tried hand cranking the 99K and I am a better treadler than hand cranker. Here it is with the hank
crank that came with my 201K.

I just bought my first vintage machine on eBay. I'm expecting her any day now. She's a beautiful little Featherweight who shall be named "Button". I'm already planning my next vintage purchase....I want a Singer 301. :D

Awesome score!!!!

I might flip the 301 but not quite sure yet I will know more after a get to cleaning and playing with it. I just do not like the electric machines or as some here knows as an aversion :mrgreen:

Miz Johnny, I'd love to live close enough to you to see your machines! I also have a 99K, but of course mine still has a cord attached. Your 99K looks great as a hand crank.
