Picked up a working Singer 127 from 1916, with the treadle table. I think it will take a while to master the pedalling it forwards without accidentally going backwards.
Thrown in for spares was an almost seized 127 from 1914 with quite worn Sphinx decals. I spent last weekend stripping it down to just the body and main shaft remaining and cleaned decades of crud from the workings. I need some new feed dogs as these are very worn and some feeler blades to adjust the shuttle correctly, but it sews OK already
Work trousers repaired already.
