    Acquired this Kenmore 158.1751 back in May. It needed a new belt and the bobbin winder needed to be unfrozen. A few drops of machine oil later and she's purring like a kitten. 008.jpg

    $20. I figured the extra presser feet were worth that. And the desk it's in isn't bad either.

    There are many forums/groups for each make of machine for those desiring more in depth, make specific info.

    Thanks for understanding.
    I had suggested a better organization to the diy area, why not make a machine only section for all things machines? It could even be part of the donating memebers secfions (not that I have had time to renew my memebrship).
    I think the key difference is that the people here are all diy gear junkies. The love of machines and all that we invest time in is an off shoot of making hammock related gear. I know the idea behind hf is to keep all things hammocks, but we talk about ultra lite, knives, food, coffee and manynother subjects because they are a part of camping and in such hammock camping. I could argue the importance of these threads about machines as more so then most. New vendors, ideas and products start with someone and a machine. Most of our vendors started as such.

    Doesn't matter to me all things good in sectors 1-6.

    I finally landed myself a 500A. I am very excited for this purchase although I haven't bothered taking any pictures of it yet. It only came with the zig-zag foot and 1 tophat but I was able to snag a set of 403 attachments for $15 and hope to see them by Sat. I'm really looking forward to setting this thing up and using it. Now I just need to get rid of the 2 other machines I have.

    Please help me out, HF gurus. Can you identify this machine and is it a model worth upsetting my wife over?

    That is a Singer 101. They were made from 1920-1937 and were the first electric only mahines made by Singer. It has the "potted" motor built in on the back.

    http://www.ismacs.net/singer_sewing_...s-100-199.html

    It is straight stitch only, no reverse. In good condition, it should sew a very nice stitch.

    Being ~90 years old, there is a very good chance the wiring will need replaced all the way to the motor. Other than the bobbin winder tire, bobbins and needles, donor machine parts will be very difficult to find should one ever be needed.

    Dad has one in his collection, but I have only looked at it and have no experience with this model.

    This is not a machine I would upset the wife over. Then again, I have many machines and no wife, so what do I know?

    Thanks for the info and quick reply. Seller is asking $45. I'm on the fence.
