ROTFLMBO - my daughter is ok but my DIL is another story. She thinks INTERVENTION. I'm getting ready to go pick up a 401 late this afternoon.
I'm sure if my daughters knew how many I have, they'd be worried. My number is much lower than yours, but still too many for me. I can part with two - the 128 and the Admiral, though that one is a gorgeous, well made machine. The Art Deco faceplate and trim in turquoise and silver is so pretty.
I couldn't find a model number on the tan Kenmore. I had hoped that high sitting motor and bobbin winder on the end would be clues.

I think I have another 401A, a 403, a 411G, a 401G and a very bad 500. I need to get rid of all but the 403 and the 401G. I have way too many machines. I think I have 3 301s - those gotta go. Way too many clones and Kenmores. I like fixing them... after that I'm done for the most part. Sort of like Sudoku - do the puzzle and then go do another puzzle.

Fixing them is kind of like a Sodoku puzzle but it's a lot of fun.

Someone gave me a big box of double knit poly from 1970s - how do you get rid of that?
I've seen quilts but I just don't have the stomach for it.

Fun to fix up the "bargains" (usually black Singers around here) and put the profits (not much if any) towards something I'd really like to have (Davis and a few others). Only problem is I have to ship to move the machines, which I hate.
