Well, Mr. Stitchnripper thought there should be some electrical tape on the part of the controller that plugs into the machine. Except it sparked once when we plugged it in. I ordered a new cord set and my other Featherweight isn't here right now so will bring that cord home next week when I fetch it. I hope he didn't cause any real damage - otherwise the machine is very quiet. I oiled it, greased the gears and lubed the motor with the singer vintage lube, according to Nova Montgomery's video. It was very clean. I got almost no fuzz out of it, or dried grease (since it was bone dry). Had a problem with the light. I tried a new bulb but saw on line that some of the new bulbs don't sit properly. I took a bulb from the 66 and it works fine. Put the new bulb into the 66 and that works fine.

I also got the TR-3 resin glaze. The auto store I went to had no idea what I was talking about so I ordered it on Amazon. I do try to go local, but didn't want to have the same experience I had with EvapoRust. I did find it, but, it took me a long time to drive around to all the prospects. I find asking by phone doesn't give good results. Because I don't think they really look. I haven't tried it yet.

And the cold is gone, yippee!!
