Yesterday was Hubby's b-day so he bought this little jem on e-bay. He oiled her up and cleaned her and now I am piecing a quilt with her.

Of course I couldn't let that happen, so we had a rendezvous at the bus stop to meet (no, I didn't tell DH I was getting yet ANOTHER machine, allbeit free).
This is a picture of the machine, and I have to say I SO fell in love with it! I LOVE the color, LOVE the vertical bobbin that inserts from the FRONT (unlike the other vertical bobbins that go in on the side), and even though my intentions were to pass this one along, I have to say she's now home where she belongs. I really did need a machine with a "ZZ" capability & fancy stitches set up in my sewing room. She adds color to my sewing room, and is one of very few electric machines that are included in my 'herd'. She's a Japanese repo of the Singer 15 (called a Universal, and I just can't get over how well-built this machine is. AND she weighs a ton! Just needed to clean her up and give her a good drink (geez, she was so thirsty she squeaked!). Happy happy me. :)

Congrats and happy bd. I have a 401 coming that looks similar to yours. Enjoy.

I have a Singer 66-18 that I'd like to convert to a treadle machine, the wiring is shot. The covering on the wires is just falling off, so not using right now; too dangerous. I'm hoping I can swap the handwheel and bobbin winder from a
donor 66 machine.
donor 66 machine.

Okay, I'm about to show my ignorance. If a 1912 66 has no motor and the spoked hand wheel is large, is it likely a handcrank machine?
