We bid on one of those at GW once. Didn't win.
My wife's father worked at GE in Ft Wayne, IN for decades before, during and after WWII. I wonder if he had any hand in making parts for those? Joe |
This is just a sweet machine. Out of curiosity, how much does it weigh? I'm so glad you posted this.

We are 'a few good men' here. I myself wasn't dragged as I've been kicking the sewing machine treadle since I was 12 and the machine has been screaming for me since then. I dragged my wife into sewing but not into antique machines yet. Nice machine you both have there. Welcome korak. |
Not sure about the weight. I'll check when we get home. My machine is now on the "to be sold/traded" pile now. Neat but not something we will be using either for the shows or for projects.

Steve,
Your videos don't work........... |
yeah, sorry, I took them down to save Dropbox space...

Here's one http://www.ebay.com/itm/251477486902?_trksid=p2048036. If I wasn't in Australia I'd be on it!! LOL

Absolutely adorable machine and in my favorite color. One question -- how on earth do you wind a bobbin?

I'm in the market for one of these -and they take the Standard attachments too. I believe they are made by Standard to be sold by GE - after Standard was bought by Osaan. BTW - Singer bought Osaan some time after that.
