You can remove that pretty plate on the back to get at some of the interior parts. Oil it, sew with it, reoil it and you'll be surprised how much smoother it will run. I got my manuals from sewclassic,com, but the Singer site has them, too. Is it Ismacs?
Post her picture in ther vintage machine thread. She's so pretty, she'll be appreciated.
All true; I have a similar machine. Where does one find instruction for a complete cleaning? Thanks for summarizing this;it took a lot of surfing for me to find this info. The manual at sew-classic is free, not so elsewhere. ISMacs is an international board and one can sign up foe Emails but only one person commented on my machine when I was trying to find info and parts. Sew-classic were very helpful. Limey
