My orphaned Singer 128 arrived today via FedEx, Bentwood case intact. Pretty good shape after 69 years, I think.

A quick test - despite the frayed cord and the practically chalky belt - showed that the motor still works. So, first will be the cleaning and then the rewiring.

Anyone have experience cleaning crinkle finish? And both the slide plates are frozen shut...any hints on how to break through the years of crud?

The veneer around the case's handle is splintered. Is there anything that can be done about that?
