It looks better now, but I don't have a new photo. I sewed all day on it last week and it does a nice straight stitch. Another fun one to play with. It came with the carrying case that needed a good cleaning too, but it works perfect.
    Candace how does the 185K sound when you sew on it? Is it loud, groany sounding? There is a gal that comes to our Girl's Night Out with a 185K that sounds terrible, but sews really nice. By the way, really nice machine. I love the way those 185's look!

    I like the way they look, too! Clean lines and compact. I put it on my "want to get" list!!

    I think Billy and the mods are the only ones that can add links to this section...

    Could it be some kind of bobbin winder. I have no idea

    ohhhh that looks just like mine, cabinet and all!!
    How does yours run? Does it have a good stitch? This will be my first 99 and don't know much about them othere than what I have read here. Sorry I can't help with the sneaking in of the sewing machine. I just carry mine in and put it somewhere. I guess there are advantages to living alone!
    It doesn't run yet... the motor whirssss/then little sparks but nothing happens... ohh..wait.. maybe the umm...knob inside the wheel..needs tightening.. :(
    Little sparks sound dangerous. :shock:

    I am green with envy... ok..proud of you for rescuing the 201.... I have a spot in my sewing room for it ....just in case you have no room ...
    It is heavier than the others and so plain looking, with no decals at all. I will do some research to learn more about them. Maybe these are industrial models.
