It's Not Awesome, But It Works - Revco Reverse On 1908 Singer 27.
It installed the Revco a couple of days ago. The whole installation video at the bottom of the post. Here are the highlights.

27-4 Cleaning. At Last.
Before getting side tracked with the Domestic, I had the issue of the 15-87's bobbin winder not liking the smaller belt ring on the spoken handwheel. Since the motor will eventually be going back on the 15-87 along with the solid hand wheel it wasn't really a major problem. I just needed to decide which machine would take its place in the treadle.
Since the treadle sits in the middle of the dining room (along with the 201's treadle and the table for the 403A) I figured it would probably be best to put it up to a family vote which machine was going to be mounted on it. My candidates were the 66-1 and the 1908 27-4. I went with the 1908 instead of the 1896 due to the '08's better decals at present.
It was a split vote. Our son went for the 66-1. I guess the red eye decals look more violent or something. The wife went with the 27-3 because the colors match the carpet better. Another valid reason for choosing a sewing machine.
It came down to me. Since I already have The Wicked Queen, Black Swan and 403A in tables for use I went with the 27-4 to have a VS machine as well.

First Machine From Today's Haul
I figured I would post the photos going from oldest to newest.
First up is a 1908 Model 27-4. One of the important items about this machine is that it fills out the 00 decade hole in my collection. Hey, that's kind of important. I'm now covered from the 1890s to 1960s, with the exception of the 1940s. Maybe I'll pick up a 40s 99 to fill in there.
The decals are excellent compared to what I normally get. Not as good as Wicked Queen's, but they are in better condition that Black Swan's. There are just a couple of specs of silvering on them. Someone did put tape over the front slide plate, but I'll work that off gently. I think this one will be the first cleaned up. It won't get the straight leg treadle though, that's still either going to be the 1896 (that should be here in a couple of days) or the 15-30. I guess I need to get a couple more treadle bases to house the growing family.
