Sewing Machine Deals for the DIY Guys


Singer 211 w/reverse (not sure which model)
$200 $165
Hixson, TN

Ditch the 3 phase motor and treat yourself to a servo at that price.

Price drop. It's probably just a needle feed machine, not the compound feed. However, still plenty capable and with a reverse too!
 
I bought 2 sewing machines I saw on FB marketplace 5 minutes from my house. One is a Singer 201 and the other is a Singer 66. I got both for $50. I didn't have a 201 and I saw many people claiming it was the best sewing machine Singer ever made, so I couldn't resist. The 201 is dirty but not rusty. The 66 is dirty and rusty. After oiling I was sewing by hand power on the 66, rusty bobbin holder and all. I brought a Singer cord with me to test the motor on the 201 and it was trying to turn it but with no oil it was locked. After oiling, it was running great. I figured the 201 was worth $30 and the 66 about $20. The motor and light on the 66 has the cords cut but this motor will probably work. The lady said they were moving and were not taking these. She didn't want to trash them. I probably could have bought both for $30. She was asking $60 for both and she took my $50 immediately.

Here are my 2 new machines Singer 201 (front) and 66 (back) along with a webbing strap I sewed with tex40 thread. It is four rows and I hurt my hand trying to pull out the stitches. I couldn't pull it out. I pulled out one row with a bit of difficulty. Stitches are tight front and back.
 
Lady won’t respond about that other Singer so in the mean time I found this one. Look good?
 
Consew 226 Milwaukee area for $300. If I didn’t have a machine already I’d probably consider buying this.

Singer 111G156
$150
Gulf Breeze, FL

Needs feet, left and right slide covers, needle plate, feed dogs, and a number of screws. $70-80 total in easily replaceable parts. Well worth the investment.
 

The search continues. I am attempting to get the seller to give me the model since I can’t make it out in pictures. Any thoughts on it and price?

Thanks
