Well I did it I found this singer on Crigslist for 35 dollars and was wondering if anyone knows anything about this machine. I just bought a brother last June and I am taking it about 50 miles away for the second time for repairs. I am so angry . I think the old machines were built to last. Needless to say I will not be buying another brother machine.Also I had purchased another brother about a year ago and it don't work either. I also have a Janome long arm which I love and 2 Juki one longarm and one a comercial straight sew. Both the Juki's are old too and both work great.

could be a jewel!! Have you sewed on it? or looked at it?? I love the old Singers they are true workhorses, not like what Singer makes now.... I have a couple and have paid more than $35. for them.... I also have a new brother and love it, would love to find an industrial machine....

If that one is like the one I learned on, which it looks to be, you have a great machine that will do whatever you want as lnog as it only requires a straight stitch, or you use one of the fancy attacchments that were in the little green box that we had.
