The other is this singer, not working, in a box. I looked this up by the number and it's 1936. Billy |
Thanx Nancy. You are a great help. All you guys are so encouraging. This is such a wonderful group. You guys are soothing a hurt that I've had for 8 yrs. since my mother passed away. Thank you so much! luv2learn

I put my Mother's beloved Pfaff 130 away for now. Put my Koala cabinet in one of our storage units -- then moved the 15-88 in the sewing room! I can now piece with the 15-88! So exciting! I think Mom would be ok with this as she use to sew on a treadle as a young lady! I wish I knew which one! Nancy Do you have a shelf in the sewing room? Just take the Pfaff 130 head out of cabinet and decorate a shelf with it. You got to keep that Pfaff in the room too. |

Ha, ha! Come on now, a bag of dog food weighs more than these machine heads...[/quote] from sewbizgirl
My little 128 is very close. It weighs in at 29 pounds and the dog food I use comes in 30 pound bags. The machine seems heavier because it's so dense. |

Nancy Thank you for your kind words. At one time I had 5 FWs. I've sold 5 and since bought 3 more, for a total of 3 now. I think the tan FW was the one I wanted most of all. I learned how to remove and clean tension disks, they were rusty on the tan FW. I found the FW table at a high school yard sale, it had no insert and was being sold for $.50! I was generous and gave $5. The lady taking money, just couldn't understand why anyone would want an old holey table that was all scratched up. Dh assured her that he could patch that hole and refinish it. I didn't do the happy dance until after we got in the truck and down the road. :lol: Between DH and I we figured out we could put the Singer top on the Elgin irons. The other people in Treadle On had done the same thing, so we figured it was doable. Its called a Franken-treadle. :-D Sharon |
