Any idea of model or date?
These are the before pictures.
Oh this is such a nice machine!!! And the decals are very complete on it also.
The shopping list should include the following:
Go JO "NON PUMICE"
Cotton balls (the whole big bag of them)
Q-Tips
Kerosene (1 Gallon should do you for a few machines)
3/4" cheap bristle paint brush (Lowes .89)
Old Tooth Brush (just grab the hubbys he wont care :mrgreen: )
Sewing machine oil
Scotts Liquid Gold Furniture Polish (in the pour bottle)
Mothers Mag Wheel Polish or SemiChrome (for the plated parts)
Patience :thumbup:
Get all of this and you will be able to clean and oil your machine (the basic service that they charge $65 and up for) and you will be ready for the tute that I am going to start working on tomorrow.
