Singer 319?
#2
I love mine! It doesn't do well with a 1/4" foot (the kind with the edge-it doesn't match well with the feed dogs) so I had to learn to use the screw-in guide, but wow. Mine just goes and goes. And I was lucky enough to get a complete set of cams with mine, so the possibilities for fancy stitches are endless.
It is kind of loud, probably because of the way the 'typewriter keys' are open and not completely enclosed, which means you can hear more of the mechanism than you usually would, I think. But still, I really like it!

After watching this Youtube video about a 319 conversion to treadle I wanted to get one. I found one really cheap on Craigslist.

My wife loves hers. Who ever said to forget the 319 was probably a salesman trying to sell a new electronic wonder plastic wanna bee.
If you have trouble finding the 206-13 needles you can use the round shank DBx1 industrial needles. Just orient them correctly and go on sewing.
Great machines.

The 206-13 needles are available other on line sites too. Just for those of us who don't do fleebay.
