I am curious as to where you found that table......??She then realized it wasn't for a featherweight but a 301, I went to see it and was in such good condition I bought it. So then I had to buy a 301.
End of story

Almond, that's one of the best reasons for buying a machine I've heard! I'd love to find a table for my featherweight or the 401.
I have a top clamp, I thing that's what it's called, Sears button holer that is just so cute, and also some other attachments that go with it. No machine yet, but I'm looking... Anyway, it's the one that has the large round nut that holds the attachments on the machine. Some day.....

Miriam, I love your new avatar photo of the kiddies. Although one looks old enough to be an adult.
So those are the kids that you report in on how they mess with your machines.

So, although videos are sometimes fun to watch, you can do without them. If I could anyone can.

What is your opinion of Singer 66, 6/13/1050. Has a few pieces missing, gold work is great, rest of machine is quite dirty. Missing parts will cost per Singer company under $100. Is it worth it. Machine gave to me. What is the selling price as is?

Thank you Candace for your info. Like I said the machine was give to me along with 3 other newer Singers.
Having a sidewalk sale next weekend and think I will put all of them in it along with several other machines I've collected. I hate to do yardsales but my dear friend wants to do it so I said ok, it will be a good time to hopefully get rid of machines, books, fabrics and lots of knicknacks and clothes. With lots of traffic on Hwy 9 and a nice ad in the paper who knows what we will wind up selling. Just hope our weather will cool down.

Got an Eldrege two spool the other day, has a broken needle. Does anyone know which needle it uses? I sure it's the same as a National two spool., because the Eldrege says made by National right on the top.
