LMAO!! Meaning it's always been kept in the house...what's unique about that?
Unfortunately, some of these grand ladies have not been treated as well. Note that some have been found in barns and on porches.
I'm well aware, but the majority that we see have always been kept inside...

According to this board I have the 66 and 2-that are 127.
I have gotten both 127's working, but the 66 isn't picking up the bobbin and I don't have instructions for it.

Try retheading your machine, try changing your needle, take out the bobbin and put it back in. Kathie

I found a really sad 1922 Singer Red Eye awhile back. Her case was shot and she had been where water had reached her underside. Here she is when I got her. She needs the spa treatment badly !!

I gave the Red Eye the spa treatment, but needed a new display box for her to sit in. I did some talking to our Glenn and we made a deal to trade my Singer 319 for two custom display boxes. Here is my Red Eye now, all decked out in her new box with the fancy attached little box. Aren't they both beautiful !!!

Just beautiful! Did you get a repro wheel and hand crank? Or were they salvaged from another machine? Glenn's case is a great setting for it. :)

That was a NICE deal. Glenn did an excellent job! And your machine looks beautiful in the custom box.

It is a reproduction hand crank. It had gold lettering in Chinese, but I painted over it. It is not near as good a crank as the original. It makes a noise that sounds like a frog croaking when you turn it. I need to try to put some more lubricant on it to quiet it down.

He did do a wonderful job and she looks proud in it.
