    I have two in the basement that are so dirty, they are in plastic bags.
    Too many machines, not enough life to go around.

    It's a 9W. Go right now and buy it. You'll need a special needle, but you can find them.

    I love my 9W--sews a fabulous stitch. Wish I could go sew on it right now! (Grandbaby asleep in sewing room.)

    So, what I've been wondering (for the past 13 or 14 years anyway) is why there aren't any more sewing machine nuts right here in central Kentucky? Why all of you that are lusting after the machines in my basement live in Texas? Or Washington state? By the way, there are a LOT of fabulous machines coming out of Texas (mostly coming from England in furniture shipments). There are many there that I drool over.

    I couldn't agree more!! LOVE mine! The needle is a 127x1, nearly impossible to find in THAT form, but the Boye needles are on ebay all the time, and now there's a new needle that I've seen on ebay that fits this machine too! I was doin' a happy dance when I saw those!

    Even though it means I have to bid against everyone here for his machines, I have to tell you all--he is the best of the best. You can buy his machines and know they will be as listed, and that he will have packed carefully and the machine will arrive in good shape. I don't know how many machines I have bought from him, but buy with confidence.

    Got this Singer Model 15-90 (I think) for $25.00. Serial #AH003406 from 1947. Nice cabinet with even a knee motor control attached. Came with a bunch of attachments but no manual. Anyone has information on this machine I'd apprecitate it. Will post pics.

    Well Miz Johnny, I'm from Eastern Ky and I guess you can add me to the sewing machine nuts of KY. :) And I'd love to have the machines in your basement too...
