Thanks for the Help!
There are several ways to cleaning the rust off of the handwheel and plated parts. If you have a battery charger you can clean it off with electrolysis or use vinegar and water solution.

BIlly,
Thank you. I was afraid of that. Is liquid gold going to be enough to protect the decals. They are so very pretty and I don't want to mess them up any more than they already are! Maybe put on a layer of clear coat? I guess the question really is what can I do to protect them from any more damage.
Is the vingar bath done basically the same as the kerosene bath?
Thanks!
Karen

Billy, I finally got some pictures of what I have found. If you can figure it out it is yours......
:-P
No really, it is yours just want to see how well you know what you wish for. And it will be fun to see if you or others can guess.

Well as the commercial went on, it was showing how great theses bags were (and they kept doubling the offer, if the commercial had last 30 seconds longer you could of bought 50 for the price of one, but I digress :oops: ). They had the bags stacked up on this table with a sewing machine. I immediately identified the machine as an Elna Supermatic, just like the one in Miz Johnny's avatar. At that point I became much more interested in the machine than the bags. So I guess I truly am addicted to machines :wink:

Billy, I know you are going to figure out what needles we can use if we can't get the 127X1 for the Singer 9W, but you also said that we may have to recalibrate the timing or something? I thought if I could find some of the actual needles that would be good -- do you know anything about the ones I just purchased? I am paying 10.99 a piece for the needles and I got 5 of them coming. If I need to stop this purchase, I need to let the e-bay seller know asap.
Thank you as always! I love my Singer 9W and really want to use it to make a quilt!

Remembered to oil it first and guess what...IT WORKS. Just like a dream.Looked up Singers site, and it was made in Clydebank Scotland in 1955. It's a 201K.
Anybody know anything else about them??
Oh, and here's a pic.

Miz Johnny did you try to send me a message? I remember you are the one that has several Wheeler/Wilson type machines?
Did you get a chance to see my post on the 127X1 needles? I know you bought a bunch of the needles when you could -- I am going to try and get a few of them, but I need to know what to buy!!!!!
Help! Billy and Charlee are working on finding an industrial needle that will work, but it would be nice to get some of the original needles too!
