I have an assortment of sewing machines. It all started when I wanted to learn how to work on them and make that another business opportunity. I've been collecting for several years, but as yet have not found a training program. Does anyone know of a reputable online course for a reasonable amount to learn how to repair sewing machines?? I don't have alot of money tied up in these, they ranged from free to $40, with most of them being around $5-10. So, if they turn out to be un-repairable, perhaps I can use the parts.
I have a Singer "Rocketeer" Slant-O-Matic 500a,
Dial-a-Stitch w/case,
Kenmore 158.13540 w/case,
Viking Husqvarna 6440 w/case,
Montgomery Ward UHT J 1954, and UHT J 1829,
Necchi 525,
Singer Fashion Mate 252 w/case,
(2) Singer Golden Touch and Swears, I mean Touch N Sews 750 - each w/case,
Singer 600 in cabinet,
Precision Zig Zag in cabinet,
and my favorites -
Brother PS1250 and
Singer Serger 2054 w/Differential Feed.
Thought you might like to see the pics, so here they are..... (Excuse the mess in the background, but sometimes it's even worse, lol)

WOW...I love it. I would be in seventh heaven if I could set up all my machines in one place. I have 14, and I LOVE them all, and they all work. Just look at manuels, it will tell you everything you need to know, and just start digging in on them. Fun Fun!!!
