Bringing a 99k back to life. :-)
Hi Group!
I just got a 99k, and I spent this morning (and, well, half of the afternoon!) cleaning her! Some of this is going a bit farther than I have before on other machines, so it has been great fun. Following are a few before, during, and after photos. I still need to disassemble, clean, and asses the light, foot pedal, and motor. For now, she is a hand-wheel-operated body! :-) I cleaned -everything-. The only thing I did not clean is the flat spring in the bobbin area, which I have a question about; so for now I am posting the progress photos, and then I will post the bobbin flat spring photo and question.
Okay, here are a few 'before and during' photos:
