It always amazes me how well those clones clean up and get ready to run another 50 or 60 year or more.

Thank you Miriam. The paint is really resilient on them. That is what got me thinking about what kind of paint it is. I already have Blue Mo spinning freely and the paint is all cleaned up on it and most of the rust is gone. The machines themselves are resilient too. One more thing to like about them.

I finished the machine itself late last night. I still have some wiring and a case to refinish, but the machine I bought two days ago is done. A new record for me for a complete tear down, clean, oil and adjust job. What a difference! I am calling her Blue Mo. Some before and after pix.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]382872[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]382873[/ATTACH] I just love Clones and Love this color. ~G~ |
She sure is pretty now. It is amazes me how well these clone are painted. I am going to hazard a guess that the paint used is some type of automotive paint.

allow me to add another pretty blue....
I call it Semour.... the first pic does not show the color well, but it does show the machine. (BTW) ZERO cleaning, Flea market, found as shown... [ATTACH=CONFIG]382889[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]382888[/ATTACH] |
Nice! Does your machine have a number on the plate below the stitch lever? Your feed dog knob is farther to the right than the ones I have seen. Maybe I haven't noticed them.

I swear they randomly place those feed dog knobs...

~G~ [ATTACH=CONFIG]383003[/ATTACH] just below the deck when you open it. [ATTACH=CONFIG]383004[/ATTACH] A close up of the feed dog control [ATTACH=CONFIG]383005[/ATTACH] and just for SewMore 202 folks... https://dl.dropbox.com/u/18576541/sewmor202b.jpg |
Thanks Steve. Interesting that the Sewmor Model 303 was advertised as a featherweight at 19 pounds. I have not seen one but will be watching, LOL.

19 lbs is NOT featherweight... LOL sounds heavy enough to me. I should weight some of the ones I have - some are heavier than others come to think of it. DH will think I've lost a few screws of the machinery.
