I've added a few new photos of machines that have passed through my hands (some are sticking around).
You'll note I've grouped the Singers together at the top. These have become my favorite machines, as they are easy to work on and easy to find parts for. Japanese machines are grouped at the bottom.
I'd like to thank Diane J. for access to her collection of wonderful machines; some of which are pictured here. A number of these are for sale, and will be available for purchase at Space Craft Center's next event in Half Moon Bay, CA. This will be a great opportunity for those interested to try these machines.
I'll have my entire collection at the HMB event, plugged in and ready to go!
Buying, selling, servicing, using... thoroughly enjoying these marvels of mid-century domestic engineering.

Size Matters

Singer 153W103 Industrial

Singer 316G

Singer 301

A design revolution for Singer, this light-weight portable is a favorite with quilters. This example dates from 1951, but, interestingly, isn't badged as an anniversary model.
Singer 221- Featherweight

In remarkable condition. This one dates from 1956.
Singer 500A

Reassembled and polished.
Singer 401A

Singer 503A

I've had a number of examples from the 400 and 500 series pass through my hands now, and as testament to their quality, they have all been in very nice condition; none, however, has matched this beauty for its near pristine state of preservation. While even on the cleanest example one must forgive a minor imperfection or two, this classic from Singer exhibits none! Truly as nice as one could hope.
