[ATTACH=CONFIG]439841[/ATTACH]I paid $75 for her, too much? neighbor's grandma in law had it most of her life. I put her in vintage machines also, with some other pics. G8913874 serial #. Can I hand crank her? She weighs a lot, not very big tho.

Pretty 128 - and you're right - they are heavy little buggers.

Yes do the HC - very relaxing way to sew. You can take it out on the deck or under a tree or camping. I plan to charge more than that for one I have here.

To hand crank all you need is the hand crank and a screw driver. Unscrew the motor and light. Screw on the HC and you are good to go. I guess if you hate it you can put the motor back on.

"I've thought over your offer. If you still want the sewing machine for $100.00, it's yours. I feel like it will go to a good home:-)"
Too Cool!

Woe is me. I'm trying to figure out how to find a screw. I need one to reset the stitch length controller on a Singer 241-13 It is an industrial. They have 3 possibilities to change the stitch setting - well 4 if you remove the setting thingy. Then at a factory nobody can change the stitch lengths. HMM... I'm thinking I need more information than the manual is giving me. I think I also need a new screw.
