You will LOVE the machine! The cabinet and machine are just like the one I sewed on from the time I started sewing as a teenager until our house burned in 2000. Did not attempt to rescue it, wish I had, as the fire inspector said it did not appear to be damaged (was in a somewhat protected area). If I find one again, I'm going to try to get one.
My featherweight is the closest I've come to finding a similar one.

Check your belts on the Singer, if its been sitting for awhile they may be brittle and that makes for a bit of a drag on the motor!

I found this site about Singer and posted it to the forum. http://www.quiltingboard.com/main-f1...s-t132994.html I have my Grandma's Singer and found a lot of information. You really did hit the jackpot with all of your great finds.

I really do not plan to use the thread, but
the wooden spools wil llook nice in a jar.

Yes the belt is still pliable but too loose.
I have a new one coming from E-Bay.
