We have a great repair place about 15 miles from here. They told me when I dropped it off if it needed parts, they may be out of luck because you can't get them anymore. It's an old Singer Quantum. It was a real workhorse, and gave its all making almost 500 masks from April-June of this year.

We thought it was just the timing that needed adjustment, along with a cleaning and oiling. But there are broken bits, and the motor itself has a weird "whine". It works, but badly.

Silly to get so upset about a sewing machine. What is wrong with me?
I'm so sorry! I don't even sew often but if my older than that sewing machine broke I'd be heartbroken. It was mom's when she first got married, and it was handed down to me. I want to say she got it in the early 50s? I wish you luck finding another good machine!
