Hunny went yard saleing without me. He bought stuff without asking….. Sigh.

THREE SEWING MACHINES FOR $20!!!

What a hero!

I don't have time to indulge your picture taxes. I'll be busy sewing!

So. One does work. Sort of.

The one that sort of works, is a Singer 774
The interwebs tell me it uses a metal class 66 bobbin. One came with the machine. Will plastic class 66 bobbins work?

Oh, the others appear to move freely when turned by hand. They are missing power cords. A Singer 9410. And A PFAFF 1040. I really hope the PFAFF model has all metal interior.

Yes.
And I have bought odd cords on ebay before.

Well made buildings are fractal -- equally intelligent design at every level of detail.
Bright sparks remind others that they too can dance
What I am looking for is looking for me too!

singers are (almost?) always a good buy...all the way back to treadles!

3 machines for $20 sounds like a great deal!
