Any vintage sewing machine aficionados out there?

I have a total of four sewing machines. One modern Singer Heavy Duty, a 1950's White 263, a Brother Charger 651 from the same era, and the beauty shown in the picture, which is a 1946 Singer 15-91 I found at a thrift store. All the electrical was shot, so I stripped it down and ordered the hand crank mod kit online. How many of you are into the vintage machines are have one on your wish list?

Oh wow look at that beauty!! Do they all work?

For the most part, yes. This 15-91 has been fully converted to hand crank operation only, and there is still a bit of teaking to get the modern Chinese-made crank to synch up with the 1946 original clutch plate, but once I get that minor adjustment made, I will be able to say that all my machines work, and that I've done the majority of the work on my vintage machines myself.

oooooo! Another White machine person! I have a late 1950's White 762 and I simply ADORE it. She is such a tank and sews through almost anything and purrs like a kitten. I also have a 70's Singer (came in a bundle of a storage locker contents purchase) and a modern (albeit 20 yrs old now) Huskystar.

I love your Singer 15-91! and that you converted it to a handcrank, simply awesome! My daughter has a 99K and a Featherweight and she loves them both. So yeah, vintage machine lovers over here ;)

I have a vintage Elna lotus which is a lovely little machine, it does work but I must admit I rarely use it
