Sort of gun related from a mechanical angle

I just finished putting a new (China) motor and foot control on our family 108 yr. old Singer 66. It had a motor on it last replaced in the 1960’s. Of course it was originally foot powered, which actually functioned remarkably well.

If mechanical things interest you these old classic machines are a marvel. No plastic or cheap alloy parts. Singer was an instrumental arms producer in WWII also and their 1911’s are some of the most highly coveted by collectors!

I also replaced the belt and bobbin drive rubber. It was my wife’s granny’s machine she obtained used, prior to the war. It’s no closet queen, being refurbished to produce quilts! These wonderful workhorse machines can easily be found in the $50-100 range.
