IHUK - A day in the life of….

Looks like the 27k was a fairly popular model. After I looked around some on the internet, I think I might have a machine that uses the same style bobbins. I recognize the shuttle piece, but I can't remember if it was just a random part in a bin, or actually one that goes with my third machine. When I get home this afternoon, I'll have to dig around and see what I can find.

@el:
@giles can’t beat the old singer machines. My grandmother bought this new, my mom had the motor changed in the eighties sometime, and I’m still using it today
Nice machine @el camino. What you have there is a Singer 201, the undisputed pinnacle of domestic Singer production. Unfortunately, with few exceptions, it was all downhill for Singer after this model.

@Simon i quite like using that machine, it’s built like a tank

It still irks me how bad I am at using that machine.

Possibly the best shorts Ive ever seen @Giles

Did something happen during shipping, @Giles?

Yep, UPS (as do most other shipping companies) ship to UK from Japan (and other places in Asia) via China.
As the world starts to open up after the lock-downs, the volumes of goods needing to be shipped, is far outstripping the available space in cargo planes. So, there are delays happening now, that did not happen during the lock-downs.
19 carton shipment due here Monday. Got 9 cartons Mon, 9 cartons yesterday and 1 today. Ditto other shipments….

Oh, man. I'm sorry to hear! I'm sure that puts stress on top of an already stressful situation.
