Darcene, my grand mother bought a 319 and it never sewed right, she traded in back in. The same Singer store said nothing about the recall. Years later my aunt found out there was a recall on them, but Singer never did or said anything for her about it. That is why I never bought a home Singer machine.

Three machines and change back from your $100 bill.

Your 29k with 5,000 allotted is from July 5, 1946. Can you post a picture of these machines? The 29-4 was a boot or shoe repair machine. Depending on which version you have of the 29k, it could be for either leather or cloth?
Interesting.

I found a neat thing in a box of parts and attachments. Thought you all would enjoy.

In my box of old attachments, there is another little brown paper bag with an attachment in it I haven't opened it not sure what is in there. It feels like the little twisted wire thing though.
Ok so I tested out the little twisted thing. In the instructions it said there were two of the little twisted things. I used the old Sears Commander, dropped the feed dogs and for the first time in my life I did some free motion. WOW!!! I did it. The little twisted wire thing works great. The Commander works real good for it. I do believe I'll just keep the machine set up like that until DGD claims her inheritance...

I have a motor, light, foot pedal and cord for a Singer Model 66 which needs to be rewired. Do I need to buy the materials from a sewing machine repair shop or will Lowe's or Home Depot carry the proper materials. I will have my son do the project for me, I'm trying to get the materials together to save him time. Any information will be greatly appreciated.

I took a couple pictures of the gadget I used. I hope you can see it - I barely can.
