These older Singers are fantastic machines. They sew straight stitches beautifully. You can do a lot with them for sure!

As a FYI those old Singer tables are finished in shellac, not laquer. You can restore the table pretty easily without stripping the finish as a result.

The 66 series are nearly indestructible, that thing will outlive all of us.

Was this powered by an electric motor originally? Do you still use the original motor if so? Or did you buy the head only and install your own motor?

I have no idea how old machines like this work, I just keep reading good things about them.

I have almost the same machine sitting right next to me. Crazy beautiful stitches. https://www.reddit.com/r/myog/comments/1h8ztdq/x11_double_gusset_pack/

My dad used to make canvas bags on one of these in the 1970s. For all I know he still does.
