I've tried several times to upload the other images and can't seem to get them.

I guess they did post
The first one of the bobbin area is the back side and the second one is the front side. It looks like a fairly fresh break to me. Too bad you don't have the piece that broke off.
The piece that broke off is the part that the shuttle race body screws into.

Thanks for posting them! I tried and tried to post them after I emailed you.
It really is a shame. It's very pretty. It would make a nice conversation or decorative piece. I can't see it becoming a garden statue or *shudders* a tractor. That's why I think a placing it inside a wooden base converted into a lamp would be nice. It could replace my ugly bedside lamp.
So sad....

Well, I certainly will not be buying anymore machines from Shopgoodwill.com. I have grown very leery of online auctions as it is. I should have known better. Oh, well...I did find that beautiful RAF Singer 15 the same day from a local shop.

It truly is a shame that it was broken.

I have an older Singer 15 that is totally wrecked. It was bad to start with (almost as bad as these original pics, but everything moved OK) and I bought it to do a test-repaint on it. I took it apart and tried stripping the paint but used the wrong stuff and now it's REALLY bad. I can't bear to toss it out though, I KNOW it can be fixed. I have all the parts and it worked when I started...but I regret trying to strip it now. I should have just kept it as-is. OH well. Live and learn!
