Thank you ladies...then I'll feel confident if buying class 66 bobbins on ebay...And right now I'll keep it Electric. I have my Grandmothers old Singer cabinet that I'm hoping she'll fit into..Grandma's rusted out due to dampness and storage in basement...when I wasn't thinking abt old machines...will be looking into rehabing her one of these days.

If I see yard sales around here close by I try to stop in, but I'm bad about pre-planning. I wonder how much I miss :roll:

Also confused since research tells me it's a 66 but booklet that came with the machine shows 99?

Tommie: Gotta love going on treasure hunts and coming home with some very nice finds :)
Hobbykat: I think Billy had said at one point that all Redeyes were 66's. Beautiful machine. Are you going to keep it electric or convert it to a treadle?
Emmah: I really like your new Fiatelli. Did she come with a manual by chance?

Foxflower ~ you can buy them fairly resonably on eBay or if you would like a copy, there are several websites that offer copies for $10.00 - $15.00.
Ismacs website has several that you can download for free: http://www.ismacs.net/singer_sewing_...e-manuals.html
