Holy cow - this lady is gorgeous! I love these old Singers, they're so classy and elegant looking. Why can't they make machines like this anymore??
Looks like I need a new tension knob, too? Checked the stitch regulator switch, moving slow but no creaks or squeaks. I'm sure there's years upon years of old oil in her, can't believe Singer says to use kerosene to clean it out.
Model number is AE740803
Had to yell at the fiancé when he came in, it was still raining and between the truck and my front door is about 100 feet of what can only amount to quicksand, Ozarks mud and silt. One slip in my yard and you're going to find yourself on your back looking up into the trees. I'm still giving him the business, but they did a really good job wrapping her up in plastic and a blanket, not a drop of rain on her cabinet anywhere.
I've got more pictures if need be.
