Hi all, I have a vintage machine I'm going to be looking at, more than likely Wednesday. I was hoping to get some advice on what to look at when checking it out.
here's where I found it, and a picture below http://sfbay.craigslist.org/pen/clt/2491995435.html had to take a picture off the screen. . . [ATTACH=CONFIG]228719[/ATTACH] |

Does anyone, by chance, recognize this machine? I tried enhancing the pics but got too blurry. Thanks!

Singer 66 Serial AM078465 from 1955 and Sears Kenmore Model 158.14002 from 1971-72. Serial 0018082. I thought I was going after one old machine. Had no idea I was getting machines with cabinets. :) Excuse the cobwebs-haven't cleaned them yet.
That other machine - think FM & it should sew about anything. Good combo. Nice score! |

http://dallas.craigslist.org/ndf/atq/2498113118.html Any red flags? I wrote and asked for the serial #, but seller gave what sounded like the number off the motor and said that was the only one she could find that looked like a serial #. I'm wondering if it would be rude to send a picture of where it's located. It looks nice to me, but I'm still new to this. I'd probably ditch the motor and put her back in a treadle. Also, does anyone know what model this would be? Looks like it has a place for cams, but again, I'm so new at this I have no idea! :) I just keep seeing stuff that interests me that I want to know more about! http://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/atq/2461788660.html The other machine is pretty cool but - he says no attachments and the only discs he has are the "built in ones" - he doesn't have all of it..... and he doesn't know it... Look around & price the discs - the attachments are low shank - you can buy new if necessary. Does the cord/motor/light work? How gummed up is it? I think I'd want to buy for $25 or so... it wold be fun to play with for a while. |

Here is a good buy on an old Singer treadle. The cabinet is in great shape, decals on head not so good. But at $45, it's a good deal.
