One more thing, my recent 27 acquisition is lacking a spool pin. Who sells such an animal? Billy, do you have extras? If so, put one in with the 99k screw when you send it, ok? Stick a bill for the stuff in and I'll get good with you on it. Thanks for the help.

I belong to several different SM lists, but have been hanging out here because I'm looking for a more "informal" atmosphere. (I must admit that I also "feed" off the excitement of those new to collecting!) This is a hobby for me, one I've shared with family and friends and one that has been a wonderful diversion through some really rough times, but is certainly not the most important thing in my life.
So--entertain me some more! I love hearing about all of your "new" machines!

And just to say this, if it were not for all of you this shop would not be the wonderful place it is today!! That is why I insist that it is OUR shop, I was the guy that just opened the doors. You know the whole "if you build it they will come" thing....... :lol:

I am wondering about this machine. I have just gotten bit by the older machine bug. I know this is "Vintage" but for some reason it perks my heart! Will appreciate any suggestions! She asked $175 and I think she would come down. She would have to come down a lot for me!

"There's a number pressed in the metal on the bottom front of the machine (when you tilt it back from the carrying case base) which I believe is the serial number. It is 507098. My guess is that it's from the 1940's or '50's.

There is an instruction sheet in a plastic bag, along with several zipper foots (feet?), titled: "Unique Zipper Foot Assembly".
The machine looks clean and in good shape. It's very attractive with the beautiful silver detail against the black. I've never sewn with it, so can't tell you anything about how it works. The case is decent, just not as good looking as the machine itself."

Thanks! For some reason I think I have to have it! Either I'm suppose to get it or the devil is toying with me. I need to do something about this new obsession of mine!

It has the singer swing away motor but I need a new rubber on the little wheel that touches the bigger wheel. The guy I bought her from said he thinks the contacts are bad in the foot pedal. DH can hardly wait to tinker with her but even if she never works properly she will be a beauty to look at once she's cleaned up.
Singer were first using electric motors on their machines in 1898.

I was on a site last night that ask a lot of questions and according to the answers it told me it was a 1910 model 15 (I can't find the darn site again) but today I find a site for serial #'s that says it's a 1920 and maybe a 66. I also found a site that said the 15 wasn't made after 1898. How can a person know for sure what we have?
How do you change the stitch length?
