New (to my home) Singer 66 for $16
Well, not bad for the price. The mechanism seems OK via the hand wheel. Previous owners, or dealer, didn't know how to use the stress relief, and there are some nasty pinches in the cords. Exterior has a few minor rust spots. The underside is clean and oiled. No accessories or spool pin. Can't tell if the blisters/crazing is surface grime or a lacquer. Cabinet has blistered finish which just brushes off. Scuff marks, but vernier in pretty good shape. Will pull power supply off of one of the other machines tomorrow to check the electrical function. For now, I think I need to tend to my dog – still a bit under her anesthesia from a dental cleaning.
Speaking of cleaning – recommendations for surface cleaning of this 66?
