finally got my singer 95k on the go

So the 1942 WW2 Singer 95k that i bought in a treadle cabinet has now been cut into a table and given a small electric motor. The table was something I got locally for just a few pounds and the old treadle table was cut up and sacrificed to the woodburner. anyway after a small strip down and rebuild Shes up and running.  Very soon she will be Transporter in my trailer 2000 miles to her new resting place in Bulgaria.  She has a lot of work ahead of her mainly heavy canvas.  After 80 years you think she'd have earned a rest...  Very hard getting hold of needle for her but I've now got hold of a good mixture as I'm afraid they wont be produced anymore.. 

vintage machine number 5 Alfa

After a little searching I found a Spanish Alfa machine, she had been neglected and left unloved in a damp shed for the last five years, but undterred I travelled a little over 100 miles to pick up what I believed to be a working machine.  Unfortunately this was not the case and she was completely siezed But with a lot of patience and love I managed to bring her back to life.  Now she Just needs to be test ran and Possibly adjusted But She's free and looking gorgous even on an over cast rainy day in Liverpool
