I have a quick question:
If I read all of the pages in this particular thread, will I be able to learn more about loading shuttles and how they work? <wave>

She came with a case and several feet. should have taken a pic. forgot.
She did not have a plug on her cord when purchased, but
for $179 I got that taken care of.
she has some wear on the front AND I have not investigated how to clean her up from that aspect.
She sews like a charm. Her name is CeCe

Anyway my oldest FW is AE000531, which dates "Deon" September 23, 1935, also - but, in the first 500 of the run! I have not found one older on this board yet!
Hang on to that FW as it is very special being such an early run of the FW's.

I'm taken a break from assembling that free cabinet and treadle that I picked up over a month ago. So, I decided to post some pictures of the recently finished quilt that will be heading to a victim of the Joplin, MO disaster. My neighbor knows of a person that lost everything. Remember, I was given a Touch and Sew in a very nice cabinet for free (from the same neighbor). I recently sold that machine (I think the gal picking up the machine was only interested in the cabinet). Well, the money from that sell went into making this quilt. The pattern is the 'Plain Spoken", and every time I look at this quilt the song "Somewhere Over a Rainbow" comes to mind. This quilt was made using the Eldredge Two Spools for piecing, Singer 201 for quilting, Davis NVF for binding, and Singe 328 for decorative binding stitch for finishing off the quilt. I love recycling and pay it forward!

This was on CL in the free stuff. Serial # TX 235577 is under the front shuttle plate. The name on the arm is 'Our Special'. Was missing the power cord, controller is knee type behind the front door. Still had the shuttle and one bobbin in it. The bobbin is about 1/4 inch longer that a singer. The power plugs in under the back of the cabinet and is recessed into the bottom side. It seems to be about 1/2 to 3/4 size of my 66. Started cleaning it today, you can peal the scrum(I think smoke residue) off with your fingernail.

Here are pictures of the cabinet that I'm working on right now.
I picked up this free cabinet that needed assembling. This was a project that someone else started 25 years ago, but they lost the jar full of parts, handles and screws, that they had set aside. So, they posted on CLs for free to someone willing to finish the work. Well, I'm finishing the project. As I started to put the next rack of drawers on the top, I realized that the gadget for the side top, the one that keeps the small section of the top up, is not there. Does anyone have this cabinet and top? I would like to see the gadget or lever (or whatever it is call) looks like. I would great appreciate seeing a photo. I'm just trying to put the old lady together again.

The other reason I appreciate the older machines is that they are pretty straight forward in their care and refurbishment and almost indestructible. <wave>
