Thanks.
Thanks.
I think I got a great deal, even though I need to fix the one cord going to the motor. She took very good care of it as she was also a quilter!
She didn't have any attachments though.
What machine do you have in your cabinet? I like the size. Easy to quilt on, along with the long throat on the 201.

Billy, I ended up finding the spring for the Bobbin Winder for the 66. The spring had sprung out of the drawer!
:) :) :)
Thanks for being so patient with me!

It's now up to $125. I'm sure it will be out of my price range in no time. I can't believe how fast the bidding goes up in the last few minutes.

This might be a good (or was) reproduction from the 70's or 80's after they saw the original.
I might be wrong here but I call BS on this one.

Here is my old girl...Fannie. She was bought at a yard sale over a year ago and kept in the shed until recently. Now she is on the front porch where she gets cleaned a little each day...Amazing how much crud can build up in 90 years. It was totally dry and the belt was broken. Now it will work, but I won't put the belt on until she is cleaned up better.......The cabinet has some veneer pulled up, some missing...but that is not my focus for now. I will be thrilled to get her running again!!!

Jan- Wow, $40!
This is the 503-A. To my knowlesdge it is the step above the 500. I have all the attachments and then some including all the cams. I don't have the bench either. Would love to find one. My mom's finish isn't too bad so I will probably leave it. My mom, two DS', both grandmothers, and I all sewed on this machine. Many hours are on the machine.
