Is any Craigslist ad for the most part?
When I suggested to the seller that the “few minor issues” weren’t so minor,
their response was, “Well I drive it every day with no issues so that is just
your take on it.”
It’s all a matter of perception, I guess.

The older Singers are great machines. A little harder to keep in proper
adjustment than one of the inexpensive Japanese machines (non-adjustable!) but
real workhorses.
Keep the hook adjustment correct and replace the belt when it slips and it will
run forever, unlike the modern electronic ones

Mine fell off for the same reason. I believe the bumper is pressed into the
bumper shock brackets but as you and I discovered, the little tabs that
