Wasn't asking too much and I can do some minor work on these wonderful machines,,,,,,,,,,got her home, and she does run but doesn't really sew as the tension is off and there is no tension nob or spring.....or thread rod or cover.......oh, and I notice there is black grease on my table. Well, I opened her upand there is what looks like axle grease all over----argh----so I cleaned and cleaned---then oiled and greased with Singer products......ordered the cover plate and canabalized "Unfixable" machines that I have in the garage......after redoing the tension assembly and gazillion times----she is running quietly and smoothly with wonderful stitches.....No name yet, any suggestions?

resurrection....

Looks great and since she had so much grease, how about Sandy, for the character Olivia Newton John played in "Grease?"
