I know it runs, but it needs a lot of cleaning and oiling and lubing before I turn it loose on some fabric. I'll probably be replacing the belt, too. So why is this here? This machine and many others of the era were capable of doing stitches other than a simple straight stitch. But instead of today's computerized nonsense or even a mechanical dial to change stitches, you got to open the thing up and insert a little plastic disk that moves a cam and alters the drive train of the machine.
It's a bit like a Spirograph in a way. I'd like to design some new stitches, print new disks, and make this machine do some things that probably never saw coming. There are a few rusty bits like the pulley, and I'm using the wire brush on those.

Thanks so much. I would love to have another My mother had one when I was growing up. So many times I could have used a sewing machine. Wish I had another one. Thank You for this memory exercise! I have always liked the 'muscular' appearance of the Singer , but I haven't acquired one My aging and ever-so-increasingly-unreliable memory tells me that I passed that Singer up, as I had previously read numerous internet postings regarding the undesirability of the Singer due to some inherent quirks that these machines have.
You got bargains there. I think I'll just look for another in case mine finally gives up the ghost. They are nothing like the prices you're quoting here in the UK but maybe I need to look aound more!
So here it is August in the time of the Covids. Sewing machines were sold out for a time. Not surprisingly, the demand for Singer vintage machines increased, along with the prices. I began collecting old Singers in the fall of and had my eye out for a in good condition.
I just bought a that I found on a Facebook northwest Iowa for sale group. So exciting. I was looking for a Singer , and asking everyone if they were selling an old sewing machine. While Mr Snork rolled his eyes, and mumbled that if they were selling a machine, it would be on their lawn.
Naturally, as he was mumbling something to this effect at a sale in Pacifica few weeks back, the lady ran back into the house, talking about indeed having an old machine or two. FML" It turned out to be a Singer , complete with a plastic blue carrying case. It's giant, very heavy, and generally elephant- like.
