I have the high (and only) bid right now. It ends in an hour and I'm just wondering if I should be willing to go higher than the $25.
On another note, I was looking at machines last night with my husband looking over my shoulder and he's now completely into finding a machine! Yee haw!

I have one in a cabinet and I like it a lot. The case looks good too. I live in an area where not a lot of machines change hands, so price can be flexible.
This is something my husband and I will be able to work on together. He's a model railroader and good with anything electrical/electronic and is more detail oriented than I am.
I'll post pictures when it arrives!

I had to come back and edit because that sounds strange, but some folks here put my numbers to shame. It is hard for me, because most of my machines, except 4 or so, actually work. I only get ones that can be used, and I try to complete a project on every one to show its worthiness.
Or mine!!!
I would love to see your projects and the machines that you used to make it. Please post in the Sewing with vintage machines: http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-134918-7.htm
Yep, "I'm in," no longer just a FW wannabe. Got my first vintage singer machine today. It's a 1950 221-1. I got it from a sewing machine repair shop -- it's newly serviced and has a new case. I love it. It has a few paint chips -- and has two areas of peeled paint. One area is under the bobbin area, and the other area is above the power supply. One member advised using a black Model Masters paint pen for the chips, but I need advice on whether I should treat the peeled edges before painting. Help?

Definitely a 319. I have a green two tone one. The typewriter keys are a tell and if you look just below the stitch lentgh adjuster, there is a little plate which also says the model. I found a free manual online. It mainly tries to convince the owner how easy it is to use. LOL
Someone posted a link to a youtube video of a lady using that machine with the keys. It was really cool, but I'm not cool enough to want one!!
Maybe the person will re-link it!

Well Monica, I finally got a hold of the owner of the Hitachi. She says her boyfriend got it with a storage unit he bought. They know nothing about it and can't find anything on the internet about it either. I believe them, as I can't find a thing about a treadle Hitachi either - not even on E-bay, which means this is a very rare machine. I can't even find a history for the Hitachi company? I am going to look at it (I will probably buy it, just because it is extremely rare!). She has bobbins and needles and says it does not have a motor at all! Interesting isn't it? It is fun to own something really odd, even if your DH says no!
