I just bought one from the 50s and had to rewire it. Most of those wires are cracking/fraying, etc. and truly do need replacing.
Yes Mimibug, he said it has to be rewired but he said that it is only the wire that goes from the machine to the motor on the outside as the cloth on the wire is frayed. I have been looking at the old Singers and I am sure there is more wiring than just that wire. I am thinking it is probably a 201. Not sure why I thought it was from the 20's but as I saidI did forget some of what was said. He said the wood case and the table it is in both came with it. I want to tank you all for all the info you have given me. I otherwise would know have went into this totally blind.
