He actually said he will now start looking for them at garage sales. I've decided to name "her" Cindy -- she's my Singer Cindy. :) It's the perfect machine to take to my granddaughters' home! Hope I am successful in attaching three photos - sorry one is blurry. Is there a way to treat the few paint chips?
Good job on finding a deal and welcome to the FW club. The paint chips can be covered with a paint pen made for model cars. This is per Lostn51 aka Billy. He had this in one of his topics a while back.
You can find them at your local hobby store that carries Model cars it is called Model Masters paint pen if my memory serves me correctly. Just shake it well before using and try it on a thick piece of paper first to see how it flows. Then dab the areas you want to cover {try to keep it with-in the chip itself}. Give it a day or two to cure and there you have it. Billy said it has the same shine as the enamel on the machine.
Hope this helps.
Faith :XD:
