I’ve got some older straight shooters that are all metal machines. A couple Jap 15 clones and an old singer. These are all machines that I’ve bought not working and repaired/rewired/did what was needed to get them sewing so I could sew with them. I used to think I want wanted a bunch of dedicated machines to support my hobby- this one for edge binding that one for buttonholes etc but for that to work means you need to have as many cones of thread as you do machin etc and the reality is you spend more on thread and don’t save much/ any time on set up unless you’ve got a really well set up shop- I use the corner between my bed and the closet, or the less cluttered section of dining room table which is less than ideal for any aspect of the hobby. Sew I’m keeping a straight shooter and a zig zagger and a back up, and selling these other few straight shooters. Shipping will probably double what a machine costs. But think Craigslist prices not eBay prices. These aren’t desirable collectibles from a collection- just good sewing machines that will last forever.
Im throwing this up here instead of the classifieds because
I know there have been a couple guys considering taking the plunge-well let me push you off the cliff. PM me for pictures and info etc- if anyone decides they want to buy one, I can make an add in the classifieds for it so there will be a public record etc of the transaction.
Mods- if this isn’t appropriate, apologies and get rid of it.
