sometimes you just not to not like these machines !!! I wasn't on my buck - it - list to spend the time or money on an other machine. This one is begging to be put back in action ..
It really isn't any where near as bad as it looked to me in those photo's. it is missing very major parts, upper tension, slide plates, every thing on the needle and press bars gone
after a quick oil rude down the color in the graphic's I 'd give a 70/ 75 %. Those would be an fairly simple fit
The cabinet . LOLOL,
It's not a parlor cabinet, maybe this would be called a mission ??? it's so simply built. at this point it looks like the top is missing. one piece of wood on the front and one at the rear and a piece that would have made the bottom. this would have been a cover / box the machine folded into. there was never any type of door on the front. the rear was never fully cover, so far I don't fine any evidence of a support for the top when opened.
I can carry this cabinet with one hand, on my scale it's weight is 18 lbs, the machines weight is 13/14 lbs
you'll see in the photo's how the flywheel is mounted..
years ago on here some one else mention a cabinet they had like this, at least the flywheel mounting ..
This thing look like those furniture items you could buy in the 70's from k mart. the flat knock down box, take it home and put it together .. I wonder if that was the Idea, Theres the old style flat head screws exposed to the outside, it wasn't a fancy Dan cabinet Brunswicks were wards cheapo machine.
