Singer redeye

I spent many hours cleaning her.Then I made a walnut base for her.After all that I threaded her up and she sewed like a champ-I am doing a happy dance.

Great job on the base, too...

I think you're pretty much there. Just make sure you have all the liquid wrench cleaned off.

If it were mine I would make sure the LW was cleaned off and then try TR3 Resin Glaze. It does a wonderful job of shining up the black machines. Be sure to test it first. I haven't had a problem with it ruining decals but testing is always a good idea.
