The photos actually make it look a little more spiffy than it actually is, but even so, it cleaned up much more nicely than I expected.
We found a few other things missing ... one of the screws that holds the motor cover on (no biggie), one of the screws that holds the plate on, and the screw that holds the needle in place.
Speaking of which, does anyone know if it takes a certain kind of needle?
I keep wondering how much it costed when it was brand new. 8-)
You did a splendid job on the cleaning of the machine!! But you will not find the screws for it at the local hardware store. Singer had its own proprietary thread pitch so you have to find the screws off of the donor machine or I might have them here in my stock of parts.
But I can not wait to hear your reviews of the machine after you use it for the first time! :thumbup: :thumbup:
