And that's what happens when you only hear part of the conversation, great story.Sewing machine refurbishing. Old Singer’s mostly - treadle and hand crank, plus a few tailed machines. Love the slant needles.
Funny thing about that. Many years ago I was in the pawn shop where I setup a pre-internet point of sale and traded my time for guns. I was telling the owner about my wife using old Singer treadle machines and about how many we had found really cheap. I guess a passerby overheard. This guy comes rushing over, “You have TEN Singers?! Would you be willing to sell one? I’ve been looking for ages!”
He thought I meant Singer 1911’s.
I sure wish they would come up with a better way to reference the adjustments for different cartridges on the case feeder. I have a Dillon case collator feeding my Lee APP and APP Deluxe, but the stand bolt which sets the height for the case feed tube is about as rinky-dink as it could be.
It the past I have utilized the parts that come with their conversion kits for the actual feeding, not just the tube filling part. Like on my annealer. Until the case is base down in my machine, its all stuff that Dillon made and just drops into my machine.
