Why would someone who claims they restore cars use 3 in 1 oil to oil a sewing machine? The guy that I purchased this machine from told me he was into fixing up vintage cars, but didn't know much on vintage sewing machines. Eeks, just to clean the underneath side of this machine I have had to use Goop to cut through the 3in1 junk.
Folks, Please only use sewing oil to oil a sewing machine.

Some of you may be interested to see what some of the guts look like on this Singer 224; so, here is a photo.

Was looking on CL, even though I say I won't. And I found this, if anyone in the SF Bay Area is interested.

Scroll down almost all the way to the end. Miriam, I thought of you. When I saw the pictures
Now when I see a machine, my thoughts are Wow, and then, do I want to clean it. A lot of time and elbow grease, or should I say Sewing machine oil.

There are about 3 Necchi Supernovas in that grouping.
That second clown picture is way to scary.

If you live in that area go offer a price for all those parts machines... You never know what you are going to find on those deals. Some of the ones you think are junk are good and some you think are good are junk and some times it is a fine line. I figure it is a good way to learn a lot. You don't want to give a lot for a machine with no foot control, motor or cord and parts missing. Looks like not tables but a few cases. I got tables out my ears and not enough cases. Nobody in Indianapolis has any basements so they like cases... they can hide them in a closet - probably won't sew much that way though.

Hey y'all I need to know...what would you pay for a working and excellent quality Singer fiddlebase treadle in cabinet? I was at a sewing market today and the owner of a local shop and I got to talking about machines and he told me he had one just sitting in storage because he needed the store space and asked if I wanted to buy it. He said 300 and I'm asking him for photos, but is that outrageous if it's in as good condition as he says? I know they're pretty rare

I payed $75 for my 1889, they did have it in there living room ?? the iron's are power coated, But the head you could not really see the decals, or what was left of them, there the white and reds roses, with some blue flower ,, very thing that should have been silver was rust..
so it was a 100% rustoration,, ANNND I did not get the coffin top... at 75 no top I kick myself for buying it ...at the same time not sorry I did because she lives again.. and is as pretty as ever in my eye's
any fiddle bed I ever see addveristed that hi is the inlaid stlye, most are price a bit above or the same as most readles, say Hi of 125. every one of the 300 machines are listed month after month ..
I really liek the one I have,, mainly because once It goes, it's very easy to slow down and pick speed back up. But It take a bit more push to start from a dead stop, because the handwhhels are more bigger / heavier along with the flywheel being heavier..
