Well was lucky enough to pick up this 1920 Singer 66 afterwork for free. Also a box of accessories, some back clamp for this machine and some side clamp. When I talked to her she said it had been on her patio so I was expecting a parts machine. But cabinet is not all that bad and the machine moves freely just cannot open the slide plate.
This is the first singer that I have seen the japan crazed and coming off. So it will go to Billy for a repaint when the budget allows. :-)

I's my only machine & a workhorse. Well, I do have a babylock.
Singer 403 Slantomatic. I have all the bits pcs cams manual, everything. A couple of fancy gadget feet that I never have fiddled with. One is supposed to be a ruffler.
Is that too young for this club? :mrgreen:
That Universal is just adorable.

Estate sale finds today. A like new Singer buttonholer w/manual in green rectangle plastic container. A Pfaff 1252 in cabinet.
I am going to take the 230 out of the monster green cabinet and put it in this one (monster goes to the dump). Then take the 1252 and donate it to a school. The 230 will be donated to World Impact Ministries here in Wichita.
Now to do some yard work!
