Looks like you've found another jewel, Skip. How do you do it?

I keep looking but don't find such lovely machines most of the time.

I do have a question for you though. The machine I'm working on is in a cabinet and there is a crack in the wood behind the machine. It looks like someone put the machine down too hard and caused the crack. Have you ever seen this? Is there something I should do to stabilize it? I don't want it to crack any more and it's rough there.... I may need to put some filler in to make it smooth for fabric.

This machine is the 15-91 I got a few weeks ago. I cleaned out all the drawers and found 3 bobbins.... all with multiple layers of thread. When I got all the thread off, I could tell that there is a little rust. I can use metal polish to remove that, can't I?

Also, I thought I'd put new motor lube in the caps like it says in the manual. It says to clean them out. Well, I cleaned it out and pulled out the brushes on one side. It was bent so I tried to straighten in up and put it back in. I hope that's okay.

It works..... haven't threaded it or anything yet. The needle that was in it was bent so I hope when I put in a new needle everything will line up like it's supposed to.

I'm sure I'm going to have some questions...... I'm pretty novice at this still.
