So that's what it is. I find them, clean them up and I'm ready for another project.

Where do they go once fixed? I can only move machines locally unless I give away or sell at cost which is very little. Some Singers do OK on ebay. Hope I'm not prying.

As many as possible go on CL some are setting in my shop. A lot are setting in my shop. I went hog wild buying them this year. I haven't written ads as fast as I would like. I figure I am learning a LOT. Maybe way too much in some cases.

"what is your ultimate must have machine for your collection?"
A 29-4 within an hour's drive for less than $200. Right!!!

When I got the SM bug I thought I could re-home reconditioned vintage machines to like minded persons. Didn't work, so now I'm a collector of reconditioned vintage machines.

I would give my eye-teeth,(if I still had them) , to have my old Wheeler & Wilson Family #9 back, so foolishly discarded for a Japanese POJ. What a machine it was and I sewed all of my children's clothes on it for years.

Don't give up! I found my 29-4 an hour and a half away and it was only $100. Needed two little parts I made myself.

WW9's are awesome machines and honestly seem to be as common on Craigslist as fleas.... You can search for D9 or W9 or even 9W (for the singer badged version from after Singer bought them in 1905)

I must have a fiddlebase machine . . . . I don't know why.
