Hi Glenn
I just purchased a Singer 306K and I love quality of this machine plus it's engineering and design! The upper body has some crazing and the shellac is mostly crackled and spotty on the neck & plate including what appears to be dried dust and oil coating all the parts on the underside but other than cosmetic appearance this machine is a beast - good for another few generations at least! I have a few questions and concerns about the cleaning and finishing of the shellac but I will post a few pics over the weekend and ask my questions then. Thank you for an awesome thread and your advise on these beautiful machines.
