I am soooo in love with this sewing machine.
Project for the day will to bring a cabinet in for her. She has her nicks and dings, needs oiling and greasing and a new motor belt. The lugged motor belt was literally falling apart. Does anyone know if I can use a regular V belt on her (which I have)? I am sure that the foot controller is not original to this sewing machine but I rather like it much better. She still has a needle and I am going to remove and measure it to see if it is the correct 206x13 size. I can't find a free manual on line so will likely "bite the bullet" and buy one.
I am still perplexed by this sewing machine's serial number of MB695187. I did find a list of Singer factory locations at this link

BTW, pics are before cleaning.
