A few days ago I posted that I was considering buying this pretty blue Morse. Well, my sewing machine addiction got the best of me again and I purchased this pretty machine in a cabinet with a chair for $20. The cabinet is not in very good condition but the chair is sturdy and the seat part will need to be recovered. The veneer is coming off of the cabinet and I don't know what can be done to restore the cabinet. This is my first clone machine so I got right to work cleaning her up and now she runs so quietly and smoothly. There are before and after pictures.

Blackberry, That is a really nice machine. It looks a lot like my blue Dressmaker clone. From what I can see the cabinet it not in that bad of shape. It can be repaired. If the veneer is just lifting and separating you can use a hack saw blade and or a plastic credit card to work glue under the lifted area. Then clamp it down securely until the glue dries. The finish is just age and wear. Check out Glenn's thread on refurbishing cabinets: { http://www.quiltingboard.com/vintage...ts-t97670.html } Seriously that cabinet is in great shape compared to the one I redid. Joe

Beautiful blue machine. You did a great job cleaning her up. That cabinet doesn't look that bad to me but then again maybe the really bad part doesn't show up in your pictures.
