    Kudos to your craftsmanship BWR. Very nice! I have heard of the older machines operating flawlessly for generations. They just don't make them like that anymore that's for sure.
    I don’t have “hobbies” I’m developing a robust Post-Apocalyptic skill set.

    Trying to get the "Red Eye" was another feat in itself. Had to chase a traveling salesman (really) to get him to open his storage unit. It valued in at $600 in current condition back when the photo was taken. What's really cool is my grandmother's was a Red Eye too! That was the ONLY one she used till she passed away. It now sits in my mothers dining room in mint condition. So now we have two operational units in the family.

    My mom had a 66 just like yours, when she passed my father hauled it to the dump.

    Great job on the restorations there buddy. I watched my grandmother for many years so a bunch of clothes on one of those. Also, she was the wedding dress maker in town and worked year round doing that from home. You would not believe some of the dresses that she made with her old pedal Singer.....unbelievable! My mom is 84 and still it in her home and wants me and Songbird to have it one day.
    Don't wrestle with pigs; you'll get all muddy and the pigs will love it!

    Yeah, we will keep the Singer in the family for sure.
