Well 4 more machines made it home with me.

First 4
Fifth one

This one is a White model 571. Initially because of the $15.00 price tag I picked it up more for the spare parts than to actually use but after cleaning it up, it is actually the smoothest machine I have.

This is a Morse Fototmatic IV model 4400. I went to buy it off someone in hopes of it being a blue one I have seen online. I really liked the retro styling with the chrome. Unfortunately when I went to pick it up it was white. It still has a nice vintage look though.

This is a Morse Apollo Model 6200. I wasn't going to buy it initially but after seeing it a few times at Value Village I decided to plug it in and see how it ran. It was smooth and quiet so I bought it even though it was missing the bobbin cover. A trip to my local shop and it was whole again.

Finally, I've been wanting a Singer 15-91 for a while. It's going to be a restoration project but it still puts down a pretty good stitch. I've already cleaned it up a little and replaced the old electrical cords that were falling apart so it would be safer to handle. Hopefully in the Spring it'll be good as new.

You are saving those machines from the metal recycling bin, so don't feel bad!
Not long ago an HF-er went back 'next day to the thrift store' to get a machine (Elna?) and was told it had gone in the scrap metal collection....don't let that happen!!

NO, I DO NOT have a problem!

Its only a problem if you are trying to quit

We can always serve as an example, maybe not a good one, but an example

anyone have a manual for my Singer 3-120?

also... here's a pic of the top and bottom stitches that a twin needle will create (I just flipped the ripstop over.. same pattern and stitch length/width):

When I google Singer 3-120, all I get is the motor number for the Singer 221 Featherweights.

If that is what you have, the manuals can be found on this ISMACS page. Look for the 221 models.

Edit...squidbilly beat me to it but posted a broken link so I win.

Yeah... let's call it a tie :P
After looking closer at the 221, I guess it is basically the same. Except for the musty scent, mine looks to be in near-mint condition as far as the exterior goes. Of course it was a bit locked up when I got it from my uncle's estate pile of random junk and crap. I'd love to get it working... I'm 93% confident I could restore it to working condition without help but I guess this is a heads up - I might be posting a frustrated "what do I do now" in the near future.
