Take it in! Take it in! Like mutts, old sewing machines should always be taken in!
Your repairer may be able to replace those slipping gears or re-set them; in post middle 1960's Singers, the workings on the undersides are prone to wear or loose-fitting and can sometimes be fixed. I have jammed around with screwdrivers under a number of them over the years and had pretty good success. Also have a good look at the drop-in stitch disks if it is the type of machine with those, are they worn? -C. > I inherited my grandmother's Singer.
