No way! loll" I believe what he was saying, is his number AE721278, falls/comes in between both the examples given..or am i reading it wrong too? since i am not familiar with these machines..i assumed the "period" after "064." doesn't really mean anything... so the second set of numbers is what his machine actually falls under? thanks |
Trish, wonderful finds for you and great prices! I continue on my machine diet. Have to get back to finishing some and get the ones I have sewing. So trying not to go to any sales this weekend.

Also, a manual for a "white - 1995" says to oil the machine every day..is that what everyone does? ( with the older machines..)

Hi, I hope no one is getting tired of me talking about this same machine (9W) over and over again. It's the only one I have & no plans for more right now. I'm planning on moving to FL in the next year and want to pack light. Then I may get in trouble!
Billy or anyone else, I have a question about these wires hanging on the machine and base. I don't know if they are supposed to be there. The 1st is above the needle bar and am not sure if it is part of the threading path? The second is below the place where the belt passes thru on the metal base. Sorry I don't know the correct terminology. I wish there was a parts glossary somewhere. Thanks, Beth Here are the pictures: |

i mean 1983 . it is a "White 511". can't find much on it. have the receipt and the original book. i found a newpaper clipping/advertising with it calling it a "WHITE-J-FIVE" . do you think this is one of those "deals" you see in the paper occasionally, factory closeout. that are not exactly what they seem? |
I have been looking at a Singer 306W for around a hundred. It comes with all sorts of cams and attachments, feet, etc. Nothing mentioned about the manual though.
Does anyone own one? If so, how well do you like it compared to a Singer 99k or a FW? Thanks for your help. :-D |

Also, I think I read that the Singer 201 dropped its feed dogs. I also read that the 201 was the best Singer ever made, that the modern machines can't even compete with the 201? Billy or someone can you explain that last statement? What made the 201 so special? Does the 201 say 201 on the arm so if I find one I will know it is a 201? Nancy Billy |
