I have been using the wonderful resources that members of this community have shared to restore a few machines. I've been able to clean up, remove rust, free up frozen handwheels, and make things all shiny. I've even converted a machine to handcrank. The one area that scares me is anything to do with electricals. I have a lovely 15-91 in an art deco cabinet that I need to rewire, and I also have a Modernage Precision 840 that I bought for pennies that may or may not need some wiring. It is otherwise in practically new condition.The latter, I purchased to fix up and give to a friend that has been extra kind to me this year. I wanted to give her my working featherweight that I've had for some years, but she refuses to accept it.

I have had a rough few years in terms of unemployment, under employment, and financial challenges. I've learned to do a lot of things for myself, like changing my one car tail lights for examples (see, good things do come out of hardship). I've watched all of Rain's wiring tutorials. They are great, yet I still lack confidence to do it myself. How did you learn? Does anyone on this board offer some lessons?

Thanks,
Maggie
