Hi All,
I've been having a wonderful browsing though all the pics of beautiful machines here this morning. Here's my humble collection. Domestic 153 I picked up at Goodwill last week. She's a bit gummy, but runs. I'll be studying Billy's tute on cleaning....I've already taken her out of the cabinet which needs a total refinishing job. [ATTACH=CONFIG]237860[/ATTACH] I'm thrilled with all the attachments and the original book too! [ATTACH=CONFIG]237861[/ATTACH] And the already partially disassembled cabinet. The finish was so damaged, but the cabinet itself is pretty solid. I've started stripping it and will post that project later. [ATTACH=CONFIG]237862[/ATTACH] Next is my Singer 66-16. She came to me from a friend of my daughter's. The wiring was down right scary, and the belt was bad. I replace those and she's good to go. [ATTACH=CONFIG]237863[/ATTACH] Here's the 66-16 Cabinet [ATTACH=CONFIG]237864[/ATTACH] The book and attachments. [ATTACH=CONFIG]237866[/ATTACH] And a few more shots of her. I know she's not as fancy as a lot of the machines here, but I love her! [ATTACH=CONFIG]237869[/ATTACH] And last (for now), My Singer 185K made in Kilbowie Clydebank Scotland in 1960. I took her in to my LQS for a quick servicing and adjustment after I got her last month, and she's purring like a kitten. [ATTACH=CONFIG]237873[/ATTACH] |

Thought I'd share the before and after of the Singer 66 Red Eye that I got a few weeks ago. SN G784285, allotted Oct. 5, 1910 in Elizabeth, NJ. She was left in a house by the previous owners. I was finally able to get out yesterday and get her insides bathed. (Thanks for the detailed tutorials Billy!!) All she needs is a belt to complete her outfit. :) Looks nice in the treadle cabinet too.
She had a back clamp foot, so I changed out the presser bar from a really rough VS2 that I have. It took a little fiddling, but It seems to work okay, even if the "new" foot doesn't quite fit over the feed dogs. Before, dusty and a bit rusty [ATTACH=CONFIG]237867[/ATTACH] After, shiny and ready to go [ATTACH=CONFIG]237868[/ATTACH] |

Here's my latest, a Singer 115 with gold Wing decals. It's a 1920's model and is just amazing. It's in my Dh's aunt's parlor cabinet which we were blessed with in April. Sews like a dream!

Here are pics of my new 15-75 and what came with it. The book to the darning/emb attachment are all stuck together. The FW books are not very good. One is useless with pages stuck together and the other has water-stained pages. Does anyone know how to separate the pages safely?
