I started putting the 66 back together today, trying to remember where all the pieces went is fun in a way. I started off with the most difficult ones first, they where the ones that I took off last. They where also the ones that I remembered where I took them out of. I’m pretty sure that I have one screw not in the right place but for now it’s staying where it is. Once I figure out where the right one is I’ll fix it.
Just as I was sitting down to eat dinner my friend, Deborah called. She and her boyfriend had been out shopping and had stopped at one of the local Goodwill stores. She spotted a beautiful Singer model 15 in a palor cabinet, she just had to call me and tell me about it. The Goodwill wanted $50 for it. She gave me the serial number, it would up being built in 1910 which is much older than any of my other machines. The cabinet is not any other that I’ve seen, I’m used to the standard 5 or 7 drawer. I will post pictures just as soon as I can get the cabinet out of back of my car.
P.S. Hubby says I need to get rid of a few of my other machines.
Web search brought me to your blog. Someone just gave me a Singer Red Eye in need of serious restoration. However no worse than yours for your pictures. My question is this—have you been able to fina a source for a manuel and do you know what kind of attachments came with these machines. I have always wanted a treadle and this is my chance. I was glad to see that you were able to order decals for this machine. The major cleaning my machine needs will probably mean the loss of the original decals. Glad to find your site and to find another sewing machine fanatic. I have a Singer featherweight, the redeye and another singer portable I have yet to idewntify the model number. I’m looking for a Pfaff #130. My dad sold these in the ’50’s and I demonstrated them for him at age 6. Thanks for the info on the blog.
