okay,looks like I am not alone in my sickness for old singers.started out trying to find one to sew leather.bought an old treadle 1847i believe.revived it,love it.then along came the singer 15-90.needed alot of tlc.lo0ve it.then someone suggested A singer 201A.gear driven-no belts.This is the stuff,won't sew heavy leather,but sews everything else.my favorite.Then I was on ebay(you know the story)Found An old 32-45 singer carpet binder.very rare,can't find nothing out about it,but got it working,sews good boat anchor.very heavy.then I found an old 111W-155 singer.wouldn't run,no rod connector belt.fixed that.timed the hook,set the clutch.fixed the froze up industrial motor.runs like A banchee.Just need to figure out how to take the slack out of the hook shaft,too loose.this machine was A steal.then I found an old A.G.Mason treadle 1847.the easiest machine I ever sewed on,way too cool.don't make em like these old machines anymore.yep my other half says i have A sickness.It all started out ,I wanted to sew some leather tack items,to sell.I am A leather crafter,carver,horse trainer,custom knifemaker.whew.....I am tired.but I love it.Dana
