Yellowed Crinkle on Featherweight
My friend just purchased a featherweight. I wasn't able to go with her. It has this yellowed crinkle on the front of the machine. It looks like the original lacquer has been exposed to heat or something to make it look like this. The machine looks dull. What can we do to make it shiny again? Please help.

I got one pretty cheap last summer. It was totally yellowed. From what I understand it was kept in a shed (or as Muv says, an out house) for a long time. The freezing and thawing destroyed the finish. The machine itself was barely ever used. I followed Glenn's directions for restoring a machine's finish.

That pic above looks like a before picture
I'm hoping an after picture will come up: [ATTACH=CONFIG]409622[/ATTACH] |
DH did that one - he was not as thorough as I would have liked but the results were not too bad.
