I would never flame over a assemblage like that. If Michael deMing can put his stuff in museums, then why not?

I've seen those 401s look pristine on the outside and be so gummed up on the inside it isn't funny - I got a Singer 500 in much worse shape - nothing moved either - it is now my parts machine - it has saved the life of many machines. I'm so glad I bought it and my pocket book is very glad I parted it out.
On the way to meet a friend, I was driving past the Sally Ann, and heard a call. We've stopped checking the SA, because their prices are out to lunch ($35 for a buttonholer), so I almost ignored the summons and didn't stop.
Found a Centennial 66 with a crinkle finish, in a Singer plastic case, same price as the buttonholer.
Yeah, it's home with me.

I would have gotten the piggy nose just for the piggy nose - but it would have had to be VERY cheap.

Just another chapter in the ongoing saga of growing old. Vintage?

I don't know. If I went back, they might let it go pretty cheap. I told them everything I could about it. I just have a good working one here. I'm thinking though.... as for parts, I might be able to salvage the motor.... that's worth something, then I'd have the piggy nose too.
