I've had to search and search for the three vintages I've found. And everyone I've asked to keep an eye open for bargain machines is looking for them, too! Nancy |

Brought home a Singer 329K in a cabinet for $20; picked up a Riccar in exchange for a working machine for free; DH found a Singer in a bentwood case for $20 - will put my Red Eye handcrank in the case and use the other for parts. Sold my Bernina 930 in cabinet. That all happened since Sunday. Makes me tired to think about it, lol.

MY 128 was my DM's and I found t in storage. I had it converted to a HC and I love it. I still have the electrical motor and wheel for it. Yes, I do sew on it and it is sew sweet. Hums.

Congrats on your FW bargain. The 128 is a neat machine. I also have one in the handcrank version in the bentwood case.

My 128 doesn't fit in the case with the HC on it.
