I am helping a friend clean out her families house that has been in the family since the 1800's She has a old Singer machine with the cabinet that she said I could have. She said the machine works but my concern is it still has the old type cloth cord on it. The wiring looks ok from what I can tell. I noticed some of you are buying old machines so I was wondering if you had your machine rewired or if you used it with the old wiring.
