Thanks Candace - I will check both items out. Though I have my Singer 403 with all of it's decorative stitches. Thanks to Cathy at TOGA I now have the complete set of cams. Re: FMQ - so does it still FMQ ok even though the feed dogs on yours don't drop all the way down? I googled the machine & seemed that all of the comments I found re: FMQ with this model were positive. So just wondering.

A test drive is a good idea but also take a SCREW DRIVER and open the top and LOOK close at that cam stack - shine a light on it - you don't want to pay that much if it will turn out to be a parts machine.

1910 Singer 115
A "new" machine followed me home today; cost me $10. She is a 1910 Singer #115. My first project machine, the only thing that moves right now is the handwheel(nothing else moves) and the stitch length lever. Most everything is rusted. It came with an added bonus! A mud dauber nest in the pillar(#2 pic). The decals are beautiful. I hope I can get her moving again.

Actually, Miriam in this Morse, I don't believe they drop but googling pictures and info. on this exact model will tell you. This model is earlier than the one I have and mine don't drop..so I'd imagine the even earlier model aren't designed to drop either.
