See what you all went and did!!!! I spent a couple of days looking at all these wonderful little black sewing machines and got bit by the bug. I just happened to be in the right place at the right time and this is what I paid 14.99 plus 29.99 shipping for. She was born on August 1, 1921, in Elizabeth, NJ. She is a Singer 128, which is a 3/4 machine. she is in pretty bad shape but won't be when I get my hands on her. She has what is called the La Vincendora decals with a grape vine and leaf motif pressed into the face plate.
Now..if one of you fine ladies would point me to the receipe for the cleaning stuff...I will be ready when she gets here!

I cannot believe my luck. The White Rotary was pictured in CL ad for $10 at garage sale on Saturday but would sell early. It mentioned that other sewing machines were available. When I called he didn't know what the other machines were but they were more modern Singers then the White. So I was thinking maybe a Touch and Sew or some other not so desirable machines. Well scroll down and see what I got!!
Doing the happy dance......

There are several parts to cleaning your machine SEW, do a search by typing in 'Cleaning Your Vintage Sewing Machine'. It will bring up all of the threads for cleaning, plus other related topics. :-D

Now, Bronwyn, that would be a hoot to pick you up at the airport.
At this point, I think it will take a school bus dragging a semi trailer for the loot we find and all us collectors.
Hand in the air waving madly.....don't forget to swing by the airport to pick me up, ROFLMHO!!!! Wouldn't it be fun, would love to do something crazy like that because I don't know anyone who sews or has an interest in sewing machines.
Bronwyn ;-)
:-D

Okay! here are pictures. :D
The picture for the shuttle area was not good, so will be posted later.
I have a quick question:
If I read all of the pages in this particular thread, will I be able to learn more about loading shuttles and how they work? <wave>
