Funny, I gave it away twice, and it came back to me both times. I will NEVER ever give it away again, don't know what I was thinking. It was meant to be with me though!

Its a Singer 15-90 1948-works
came w/ a ton of attachments & the manual.
25.00 at a yard sale
Now how do i go about cleaning her up? I read in my hours of researching, a car wax,..... nothing abusive or with alcohol .
I have a man that does wood working, going to see what he would charge me to help fix the front panel.

I picked up a 201-2 and a 15-91 in the "Art Deco" cabinet a couple of weeks ago. The 201-2 was in a mahogany cabinet I cleaned the machine and sanded down the cabinet new stain and varnish looks nice. The 15-91 in the "Blond" cabinet that I have to do some work on the finish and clean up the machine. They both sew very good.
