What a deal
 
I got an unbelievable bargain yesterday. I stopped in the local thrift store and in the back alongside the toasters and coffee makers was a familiar box. I opened it to find a singer featherweight. marked $10.10. I bought it , cleaned, oiled, and adjusted it and it runs beautifully. Only problem was the case is musty and latches broken. what a steal. oh yes, yesterday was senior citizens day 10% off so I only paid 9.09.

​What a bargain!!! I have seen the old wooden cases stripped to the wood and they are nice. If the case linings are passed saving, it might be an option.

I'd call that hitting the mother lode. So far I can only dream of the day when I might be lucky enough to have it happen to me. Enjoy!

Congratulations! What a deal. Try setting the case outside in the sun if that's an option. You can also try putting it in a plastic bag with some charcoal to absorb any odors as well. Look through the vintage section of this forum and you'll find quite a few threads on getting the musty smell out of the case.

No way!!! No way on earth!! You have no IDEA how jealous I am!! Happy for you, though.
