thanks Billy for your quick response. sorry for spelling your name wrong the first time.
i thought the machine might have been a bit older. i don't think there are very many hours on it. |
Siss,
OMG your parlor cabinet and machine are serious eye candy. It makes my cabinets pale in comparison. drooling in Texas, Sharon W. |
Sis,
Gorgeous machine. It would be a 1958 model. Check here http://www.singerco.com/support/serial_2letter.html Ruth |

I think it is so beautiful!!! Billy |
Does anyone have a closeup picture of a model 66-1 treadle bobbin winder (don't laugh Billy, I didn't break this one).
I took mine apart to clean it thoroughly thinking it was the same as my other 66 treadle but this one doesn't have the black piece for the bobbin winder but a steel one. I goes together differently. I have most of it put back but can't figure out the rest. It is made differently than the other treadle. Thanks in advance. Jan. Yeah, Billy I did it again! |

I'm sure this site has been mentioned before, but I'll mention it again. They have a step-by-step guide for refurbishing certain models, including the 66. Their manual does address the different types of bobbin winders on the 66.

I just found out last night from the owners that it is a Burdick manufactured by the Davis Co and sold by Sears and Roebuck in the early 1900's(1899-1903) and later was renamed the Minnesota B. Think I might get it :idea: PS: warning to new members... this bug is really, really contagious, sew be sure to protect yourself! :lol: :lol: :lol: can't stand to see the regal ladies not taken care of & used. |

I put in a bid on a featherweight -what will I do with my Janome 720? and I made an offer on an electric Red Eye 66? What I really want to do is to get one to take apart clean it and then I can say it's mine!!! I love to take things apart just to see how they work. There doesn't seem to be alot of "works" underneath the treadles. Would it be possible to motorize a treadle? and if so, would it be possible to get a tutorial on it? I know, I know, wheels are turning and I getting into more trouble. it's late, I'm going to sleep--probably dream about all the trouble I'm getting myself in. Anne
have a "slightly rural" older part of the area. even treadle cabinets fit in my Camry. smitty |
