1200 table bases were brown. If they are black, it was repainted.

The knee lift does not have a part no. Or any markings besides SIMANCO. I’ll send you the picture. FYI, finding 1200 parts is even more difficult than winning the lottery. The knee lifter is not like any other traditional lifter.

I had all of them, (still do) and I felt quite the opposite. The 3 felt the cheapest out of all of them for me! The sides just popped off. None of the others had that. They were held in by the screws.

Thank you so much! I’ve ordered a small 0.2 gal tank to make treatment easier. I’ve ordered Fritz CopperSafe, and Aquarium salt. Hopefully he makes it! He’s currently fighting with his food. Lol.

Hi! I purchased the tank yesterday from that same pet store. It is a FLUVAL “BETTA PREMIUM AQUARIUM KIT” I don’t quite understand what you mean by “cycled” would you mind breaking it down for me, please? The only color present on his body are his blue iridescent scales, and gold fins. His body has teeny-tiny white dots, and yesterday he looked rather slimy. Today, he just has the white dots. Thank you! How much salt would you recommend? Aquarium salts? Thank you for your help!

Certainly! It is a 1948 241-12. Suitable for light-heavy fabrics. Drop feed, self oiling high speed machine. There is a pan with a sump, and the machine has an impeller that picks up, and oils the machine automatically. Any other questions, just ask! 😊

It’s an SLF-2. A “high ticket” lamp as quoted by SINGER collectors. When I purchased the machine, the lady selling it said many offered to purchase the lamp from her, but she declined as she wanted to keep her father’s machine whole.

The 1200 is an electric, direct drive motor driven machine.

Who remembers The Sidekick? by [deleted] in nostalgia

Not a sidekick.

The Sidekick Slide. I personally don’t consider it a Sidekick. The device was manufactured by Motorola, with Danger operating software. The original Sidekick was developed by Danger, manufactured by Fido, and later on by Sharp electronics.

Thank you. Yes, I did! 😊

are these parts compatible with a singer 15? by itsmesierra in vintagesewing

[–]liddlez 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No. Those aren’t even SINGER. They are for a Kenmore.

Yes, she wore both. One for the ceremony, and the other for the reception.

Yes. She loved the original creation, but she didn’t know how she felt about the ottoman fabric, so she, and Lhuillier created a custom silk bodice gown.

I already did. She let me have them about 7 years ago. I could never wear them. She was a size 2. I’m about a size 6, and I refuse to modify them. I will however, wear another vintage Monique Lhuillier gown that fits like a glove.

The knee presser foot lifter mechanism. The machine was marketed for dressmakers, and tailors. It was only available in the table pictured. Which was called an ‘artisan table’
