Billy, Can you give me more info? How old is she? I am going to see it this afternoon and I would like to ask intelligent questions, like I know what I am talking about when I don't. I asked about any attachements and he didn't know what I was talking about, so maybe I can get the price lowered. Not gonna push it though.

The cabinet is near perfect = only a few scrapes on the top where it had been used as a display...believe it or not, I got it for less than $200 and I only bought it because I had gotten a Memorycraft 7000 for Free!! - yes, FREE... and thought it would be fun to have the two extremes - antique and computerized...

What is the serial number on your New Home I forgot I have the documents to date New Homes.

She is somewhere around 1905 to 1909 there abouts. Charlee would be the one to know more about these machines than I do, she owns a couple of D-9's

I live in the land of old Singer's. On my local craigslist (portland.craigslist.org) there are no less than 15 vintage Singer's posted in the last week or so, including 3 FWs, one if which is the Centennial Edition. Also a couple 66s, and a 301.
I wish I had more money...

I'm new to this forum, and have surfed a few pages of this thread, but rather than read 40+ pages (!), would like to ask a couple of questions. Do most of you actually use these old machines? If you do, what do they offer that a newer machine doesn't? My husband inherited one of the Singer treadles from his mother but gave it to his sister who got rid of it. I'm wondering now if that was a big mistake!!
