Hi
I have recently bought a Singer 6238 machine at an auction. I am
curious to when it was launched and what the retail price was then?
Anyone have any ideas? Is this machine part of the Singer Millenium
series or another one?

Thanks!
-Dan

Go to www.singer.com and then to customer support. With the serial number
you should be able to pinpoint the date of manufacture. Rollie

Thanks so much for the link. I, too, have an old Singer in a beautiful
inlaid-wood cabinet. It still has many of the original feet and I
bought it at a thrift store for $25. I was thinking of getting it
fixed up because I'd really love to make something on such a beautiful
piece of equipment. Having gone to the Singer website you posted, I
now know that my machine was manufactured in 1939! So cool to have
that info and it makes me really want to restore the machine.!

Thanks again

lisa

Lisa, I hope you do restore your machine. There is nothing like sewing
on one of these old beauties! You will get 'hooked!'
