Thank you!! She is nice for sure. It has the back clamping feet, well I guess just the one foot so far, and is pretty to be so old. It was less than a mile from my house at a yard sale. There is no place like home!! My two 66s are 43 years apart.

Miriam,
The cams from a 306 as well as from other singers, such as the Singer Merritt 2543C, yes a plastic machine, uses the same cams as the 319. My 319 had only one, but I found the others for a song after I realized they would fit it. The needles I got online, and manual as well. Cool little machine as far as I am concerned.

The easiest thing I have found is EvapoRust. You can buy it at Harbor Freight.

I'll keep my eyes open...I sometimes run across attachments at a good price.
Wouldn't it be fun to have one of every model 66 they made?

You have a really nice red eye there. This is my favorite machine the 66 I have three 66's. I agree they sew really well and easy to maintain.

You can say that if you have storage...

Thank you. It seems to sew so solidly, for lack of a better word. Your machines are always beautiful. I have printed out your cleaning solutions to restore the finish on a 1904 cabinet. I will let you know how it comes out.
