I worked on the Singer 319 today. I cleaned some more. The zig zag now zigs and zags!!! I squirted a lot of kerosene in it last week and let it set... Whew that's a relief. I should pull off the tension and clean it and then put it back together... I'm waiting for Lois to come over so I can watch her do it. :mrgreen: LOL The dirt on that machine has been very stubborn to get off. I'm finding it way under stuff. I discovered the stitch length under the machine - that machine had some very interesting engineering. WOW. I am concerned about the plastic disks - can they be changed out if needed? Glen? That machine turns like a dream. I greased and oiled - I was afraid it would rust out if I didn't get it on there soon. I'm going back and forth on the motor - can it hand crank? I only have a 'free' treadle base and no cabinet... I think someone said it needs a Singer 66 to fit. Then again it had a VERY beautiful cabinet with it. What bobbins does it take?
