So much for the post-holiday slump!
In the past 4 days I have gotten 4 machines. MY DH is pointing out that just because the date has matched the acquisitions, that I should NOT keep up the pace. Pics are forthcoming for some of these. The list is:
New BelAir- red and white like Miriam's boss's machine
1912 Red eye 66- rusty, no bobbin assembly
1910 Red eye 66-rusty, no bobbin cover plate or take-up lever
1910 something- I know it is a 66 but there are no decals remaining at all.
The 1910 red eye came in a banged up treadle cabinet that I think has promise. I was going to use it as a hand-crank until I got the cabinet done, but it doesn't have a motor mount hole to attach the crank to. I guess that is treadle only, unless there is some other type of hand-crank I don't know about.

I know what you mean. My DD just called me from a not local to me thrift store and told me she might have found another 201 mounted in a Kenmore cabinet. Problem was she could not raise it out the cabinet to see if it was a 201 or 15-91. Question was it worth $20? My answer absolutely. Results, the New Years Resolution is shot to heck.

Somewhere, sometime I did see a handcrank that mounted horizontally on the surface of a treadle cabinet. This was a Singer model. I am in need of one that style also - but of course, now that I need one I can't even find an example of it.
