Need help ID'ing Singer model number

Hi -

I just got a Singer sewing machine as a hand-me-down from my sister. Is there a page which displays a large number of models so I might make a guess as to which model corresponds to mine?

Where would I look for the model number on the machine?

Is it an old black iron one, or a newer metal or plastic cased one?

For the old black ones, you can go to the Singer web site and look up the model from the serial number (on the bed of the machine in front of the pillar).

OK, it's a 6234. I don't have a manual. Is there one on the web?

Considering your sarcastic treatment of the helpful response you received, I suspect you might a dearth of help in the future. I, for one, have no interest in supplying any advice to you who seems to, on the one hand, need the most elemental assistance maneuvering the web and its many resources, and on the other hand, seems very crafty at inserting pithy phrases into newsgroup postings. I fear you are a lazy charlatan. Have a nice day.

Any sarcasm in my reply was inferred by you, not implied by me. I view my response as being rather matter-of-fact. In point of fact, I asked here before searching the web simply because I expected to find a greater concentration of knowledge which would be more readily available than plowing through search engine results. I don't consider myself in need of "the most elemental assistance maneuvering the web and its many resources", but I see no reason to indulge in "I've been on the Internet for X Years" games with you.

I've heard it said that "You're either part of the problem or part of the solution." It's most kind of you to let me know.

Out of curiosity, what did I say that you considered to be pithy?

Up to this point, no one has invited you to join in the game to which you refer blithely, and one wonders, ever so briefly, just what this "Internet for X Years" game entails. You obviously hold the key to its inner workings and secrets. As for your sarcasm, it is not cleverly hidden within your preface, as you might wish - "following bit of electronic flotsam". You saw the need to repeat your crafty little "wandering" sentence in its entirety when you replied to my post, as you continue your peripatetic slog through the web. Originality is most assuredly not within your grasp.

I disagree with you on several points.

You implied, > As for your sarcasm, it is not

If you had had any experience at all, you would have realized that that 'crafty little . . . sentence' was inserted by the software I use. Your software does the same thing - if you will bother to notice, each time you reply to a message on Usenet, your software (which I note from the headers on your message is Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00) also inserts a short message, which I've copied below:

------------- end included attribution line from "nabokovsmuse"

The only craft or originality required is in thinking up a humorous or pithy phrase to use in place of what the attribution line would be without customization by the user of the software. This customization is done to provide a little originality. I can easily quote a dozen examples of such originality to you, but somehow, I doubt you'd be interested.

You can do the same thing in Microsoft Outlook Express - just go to

It's true that the instructions are for a Macintosh Computer, but I think the similarity between the Mac & Windows version of Outlook Express will be close enough so that you may adjust your own attribution line to your own satisfaction. On the other hand, perhaps you don't care for originality, either your own or that of others. I am truly sorry that you chose to view the attribution line as sarcastic, but I hope you will understand that I have very little control over how you view & interpret the world around you.

Lastly,

I was slogging through Usenet, not the Web or the Internet.

The definitions, from the Jargon File:

The Web, as a word, has become so mainstream that the Jargon File no longer lists it. This definition is from Wikipedia:

If you have any questions, I am willing and able to help you, at least partly because you do seem to have been on Usenet only a short while. (I searched Google Groups for your e-mail, and found 4 results, all from July of this year - earliest was July 8th.)

"Have a nice day." Indeed . . . .

There you go, inferring something that I did not imply. Does that ring sentence ring a bell for you, by the way? I was implying that you are a simpleton, not a newbie, as you call it.

As as denizen of the Internet and newsgroups for more than 8 years, my experience speaks for itself, and I most assuredly do not need any lessons from you on the manipulation of software, specifically in newsgroup applications. I'm fully aware of the intricacies of repeat insertions of vomit-inducing sentences such as the one you try to employ so cleverly, without success.

Oh, dear, you have gone to great lengths to provide definitions, and your time was completely wasted and could have been spent so much more wisely in pursuit of proper grammatical usage and spelling.

Another total waste of your time, as I began using my current identity in the past few weeks. Now, let's see just how clever of a detective you are, and off you go, searching diligently for my former identities.

I would write more, but I'm laughing so much, my fingers won't stay on the keys. Cheerio.

scroll down until you get to your model number. You'd probably get better co-operation if you lost the snippy "Wandering along the edges of rec.crafts.textiles.sewing, I found the following bit of electronic flotsam written by..." bit. Your choice of course, but folks usually aren't flattered by having their response called "flotsam".

HTH,

Beverly

OTOH, I am deliberately oblivious to insults,

Your unassailable certitude of moral superiority is intact, yet your abiltity to stand by your refusal to be drawn into exchanges is indeed suspect, and your post is clear, indisputable evidence. I suggest a more apt nom de plume for your newsgroup offerings would be -
