In front of a more full size Vindex Special, is another little 3/4 machine that followed me home:

But, miriam, you said my Leader by National couldn't be 3/4 size no matter how tiny she is because she has a nice work area to the side of the needle which makes the bed longer - now you have her twin, though mine has lived a more protected life, obviously. :o

blows my mind!!! I wonder if it had a crank knob stuck on that wheel? [ATTACH=CONFIG]336680[/ATTACH] |
Nice collection. I've never seen any like the green and tan Singers.

What a great collection. Do you like treadles also or just the 3/4?

I love reading about you guys, and your love of the old machines.. Had a rough day, but you guys are way too funny.. I am terrified to take apart my machines.. It's a real fear.. I have a Singer 99 that really should be rewired.. Why the fear? I wanted to change the bobbin winder assembly with another that I bought on Ebay.. The tiny pin on mine was broken off before I got it.. The one I got on Ebay is a krinkle finish, and mine isn't.. I took mine apart, and of course the spring sprang.. I paniced, and decided not to mess with the other.. So.. I have a mismatched assmebly, and it just gives it character.. I think I will still change the wires on the 99.. She is very pretty, and capable..

Barri1:
Sorry to here you had trouble with your first repair. I have a series of pictures about the other style bobbin winder (long bobbin, shuttle type) and I am on vacation currently.....bit if you like I can put together a little photo essay on your bobbin winder when I get home. We should be able to help you get her back to all shiny black as intended. Good to hear she is still working for you though. Dan. |
