Needing help with Ebay. I have an account but cannot currently access it as apparently I don't have the correct password and when attempting to change said password, I am not using the correct info. I need the piece for my Singer 201. I could just use a different email account to buy as a guest checkout but but would really like to be able to use old account. ANy helpful suggestions anyone?

Your ebay acct. should be linked to your e-mail. If you request that your password needs to be sent, it will automatically be sent to your e-mail address.

I wipe mine down with kerosene. Then I brush them off with a scotch brite pad. To finish, I use the mothers mag polish on them to make it all shiny!


You mean the Mothers line of car cleaning products?
Yes. The little jar of mag wheel polish :)

This site is intended for folks who are going to refurbish vintage machines and donate them to this organization. A worthy cause, and I hope some of us consider contributing.

My main purpose of posting though is that there is some worth data here about refurbishing our old gals. Thought I would share.

My apologies if this has been posted before - if it has, I didn't find it in my searches.

It accepted me finally after many unknid thoughts and figuring out some of the personal info I had used in setting up my account. I am not an EBay regular so we'll see what happens the next time I want to purchase something. Chris

Keep your fingers crossed for me, I've got a line on a Davis Vertical Feed, they're not asking an outrageous price, but I've not seen the machine yet!

If it is cheap and doesn't work ever or has parts missing- there are repair parts...

The last one I saw was in an antique shop in The Dalles, they wanted $145.00 for it and the decals were gone. I was pleased to see this one, and am hoping it looks good...it's considerably less money! :)
