    Billy, DH and I hope you will have a speedy recovery and won't be away from the shop for very long.

    Billy, thinking of you.

    Also, a question for the experts here:
    A local resale shop has 2 Singer 15-91 machines with bases. With delivery, I can get both for about $125 (total). All of the obvious parts are there, but the cords are original, so they would need replacement for safety. (about $25 or so per machine) I ahve not tested the motors.It looks like these machines are fairly common on eBay.
    Would it be easy or difficult to resell one of the machines, for about $100, to pay for the other. ?

Edited: figured out how to add pic,but its a download, so will do it when I get home, hopefully can get them to attach directly.
    Hang in there Billy, thoughts are with you.

    Buslady, could you post a pic of the back of your cabinet for the two spool, I got the same one and the back bracket for the irons is broke. The machine I got is a National two spool, after looking at the cabinet it's on better shape that I thought, am missing the needle clamp and machine is froze up. Got it soaking in kerosene right now.

    I just hope I can come out of this but I have accepted the fact that I might not and I am okay with it. I had 45 good years on this planet and had a lot of fun and made a lot of friends. But I am so tired of being in pain and suffering its not even funny.

    Billy, get the best medical help you can for this, and please know that others are praying for you, that God would heal you.

Lord we ask that you give the doctors the wisdon to know what is happening to Billy and we ask that the doctors fined the right meds. to cure him. Lord hold him and his family in your arms and place your healing hands on him. Lord through you are things are possible and we are asking for a miracle for him. Lord your word says that if two or more are gathered in your name you would be there. We are here in prayers and thougths for Billy and Lord we give him and his healing over to you the great physician. Amen Hang in there and know that we are here for you. Kathie
    AMEN and AMEN

    Try looking here for the cord - maybe be cheaper. http://shop.sew-classic.com/Singer-S...Models_c35.htm Don't know what you can get out of a machine in your area. I sold a 201 for $75 a couple months ago.

    My co-worker bought me this machine while he was on vacation in the Ukraine. It is a handcrank for $130
    with a serial # 4499604

    Don't know if the price is good but I love the machine :lol:
