Refering to ISMAC's list

http://www.ismacs.net/singer_sewing_...binets.html#66

I have the following SINGER (cabinet - machine)
Treadles
2 - 27
21-66
22-115 cabinet is plain version, not one with embossed trim
23-127
24-66

Electric. I have matching stools for almost all of the cabinets. Stools can be as expensive as the cabinet/machine!
40 queen anne - 401
40 -15-91, this is the newer style 40, it has a 3/4, 1/4 split top and a pop out table support
40 library table - 66, This is the older style cabinet 40. It has the 50/50 split top and a pull out support.
40 Library table non flip top - 66 (this has an insert that removes and teh machine pulls up - no flip top)

42 - 403 - I have the variation with the curved drawers, the picture shows the one with the curved cover panel and flat drawers behind it.

49-99
65-201
72-99
301-99
304-128 in bentwood case

Card tables
308- FW (missing insert)
314 - 301 long bed


I also have a few that are newer than ISMAC's list, including the pointed leg with gold trim model that is quite common.

The one I"m after is #74, the trapezoid. I have a short bed 301 to put in it, but I'd snap up the cabinet with or without a machine included.

I've refinished three cabinets, and am working on the forth. I like to use Minwax Antique Oil finish (hand applied, like 6 coats) as it is very durable, but has the look/feel of the older finishes. Nothing I hate to see more than an antique cabinet with a polyurethane plastic looking shiny finish.

For more modern cabinets, I'll use General Finishes Salad Bowl. It is also hand applied, but gives a more modern look to the final product.

Some of the cabinets I have don't need a major refinish, but most have too many spots where the original finish is ruined.
