I have a cute model 24 singer, don't know what other number it has with it, can't find this exact model yet anywhere and I would like to bring it to the get together and try it out but I don't have a needle for it. If you are coming to the get together and have a needle 24x1 that I can buy for it I would really appreciate that. If not we can look at it. I will put up some pics.

I have questions about the rust/dirt on it. I cleaned what I could out of and oiled everything I could find, didn't take anything apart, but did take off the bed and face plate and cleaned them up. I had to use Navel Jelly on it because our hardware store had nothing else. I don't think it looks that good and there isn't a shine to it either. Where does one find evapo rust or something like that? IN the Olympia area would work for me.

You will see on the pics where all the dark brown spots are to clean, the wheel and such lots of screws etc.
Also I have a pic of underneath the bed, I don't know how to actually clean the crud off of those parts, I don't want to take it apart, it runs smoothly, is it okay to leave it gunky looking? It was really smooth before I oiled it, but is better now. I think that is it, I appreciate any help I can get. I don't have a clue where to get a manual for it either. I have checked places out but most aren't this model, may have to just get one that is kind of close to it.[ATTACH=CONFIG]534340[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]534341[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]534342[/ATTACH]
