"Vibrator" named machine?
$22.00 and a bit of gas to pick her up. I put a minimal amount of oil and elbow grease on her Japan and she shines nice, but needs a thorough cleaning. A few small nicks to her enamel.
At first I thought it was one of the many re-badged 27's, but it has a stitch length adjustment on the pillar. Then I thought it could have been one of the Franklins, but the Franklins that have stitch length adjustment on the pillar have the tension in a different place. So I'm not sure what it is ... but I like it
Under name plate a #6 (model?) and SN seems to be 3237314 ... first 3 might be an 8.
Have not tried sewing with it yet.

Sue,
You have a National made machine. If the bed length is about 13" long then you have what is called the Exp. B.T. Vibrator also known as a 3/4 sized Eldrdge.

Joe ... not yet but we're on the lookout for a cabinet, or a set of irons that we can make a cabinet out of.
