Electric Sewing Machine Appraisal

Singer Touch-Tronic 2010 Memory Machine

The item is identified as a Singer Touch-Tronic 2010 Memory Machine, a vintage electronic sewing machine from the late 1970s or early 1980s. Physically, it presents as a relatively compact, desktop model with an outer casing predominantly in a light, creamy beige or off-white color. The construction appears to be a durable plastic or composite material, typical for domestic sewing machines of its era, with metal components for the internal mechanisms, needle, presser foot, and bobbin winder. The machine has a smooth, rounded aesthetic with clean lines. Key features include the prominent 'SINGER' branding in black lettering on the front side of the upper arm. The bobbin winder spindle is visible on the top left, along with a tension disc. The needle and presser foot assembly are clearly visible on the sewing bed, indicating a straight stitch and potentially zig-zag capability, though specific stitch patterns cannot be discerned from the image. The removable accessory tray, which forms part of the flat sewing bed, is also visible. The overall condition appears good for its age, with no significant cracks, chips, or deep scratches immediately apparent on the casing. There might be minor scuffs or discoloration consistent with general use and age, often referred to as patina. The metallic parts show some oxidation wear, as expected. Its 'Touch-Tronic' and 'Memory Machine' designations indicate advanced electronic features for its time, likely including programmable stitches and electronic controls rather than purely mechanical dials. This machine represents a transition period in sewing technology, offering early electronic automation to home sewers. The craftsmanship appears to be of standard Singer quality for home-use machines, built for durability and reliability.
