I know a man in Dallas that prefers to work on only Singer machines and has been doing it for over 30 years, also does house calls, if I remember correctly. We now live in Arkansas and still call him for different things and have referred others that live here to him for parts, etc. Let me know and will send you his name and phone number.<br />Have a great day,<br />Janjan in ARhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07319850615596388620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-70877592498944068382012-09-16T10:23:35.204-04:002012-09-16T10:23:35.204-04:00What a lot of love......Lovely niece, lovely story...What a lot of love......Lovely niece, lovely story, lovely Aunt Bonnie that inspires that love.

I couldn't believe my luck! I opened the case just to be sure it was a machine and otherwise bought it unseen and untested, thinking it 's always good for parts, and only $10? When I got it home I said HOLY CRAP even louder than you! It's a 222 in beautiful shape! I think I'll call her Sally and make a bigger than usual donation in the kettle at xmas! I'm so excited!

If you buy on line, only buy from vendors who have a return policy. Mine has a 14 day return policy.

I first offered it to my SIL and niece (while praying that they didn't want it!) Turns out it didn't belong to the family. They had just adopted a bunch of stuff from a friend who had died. I've named mine "Jean" in memory of my dear MIL because I know that if she had known, she would have gifted it to me a lot earlier.

I acquired 3 from my housekeeper in Atlanta, Georgia. Her husband bought storage lockers for tools to resell.<br />She came to clean and said her husband found some of those "OLD" machines I like. I kept one and gave the other 2 to a good friend who helped me pack and sell my sewing stuff when I moved to Vancouver, Washington.<br /><br />Just let everyone know you are looking for one. Good luck.Gloria Beuclerhttp://www.gloria.beuclers.comnoreply@blogger.com
