I have been researching sewing machines since I decided to make my own saddle along the line of the Wraptor. From research on this site I narrowed my search down to a Singer 15-91 or a 201. I looked on Ebay but prices were significantly higher than folks were saying that I should be able to pick one up for.
I made some calls to some antique store the other day and made some inquiries. Several places said they had some old machines but no one seemed to know specifics. Today I drove by and took a look around. I found what I believe is a Singer 15-91 in what seems to be good condition. The wiring looks very good, it runs (did not run it much because I want to make sure it is properly oiled, etc.) and even the light works. From a cursory look it seems to need a new tire on the bobbin winder and a cover for the light. It looks to have very little use and looks great. I gave $42.00 out the door. I'm pretty stoked. Any experts out there take a look and tell me your opinion.
