Wish I had yard sales like that where I live in S. Texas.

What a lucky find!

What a great deal and I thought I did well with $30 for a sewing cabinet and a folding sewing table. I do have the same desk/table as you found I paid $15 for it a while back in a thrift store.

IT always pays to listen to that little voice!!!!

give it a good cleaning. DO NOT used Greased Lighting, it will take the paint off. ask me how I know. then if still needs a shine you spray some WD40 on a paper towel and wipe it down. Make sure you oil and grease the works too.

and enjoy your new toy.

Now off to get cleaning supplies!

be very careful how you clean your baby ! those gold decals
have a way of disappearing with cleaning products. and they
can't easily be replaced. gojo (WITHOUT abrasives) is a good product to work with. stay clear of decals as much as you can. scotch tape will even take them off.
Lucky you, such a great buy. if there is not a manual, get
one right away. everything you need to know is there. also
have electrical checked by someone who knows. best price
I have ever heard of !

You did good

Tinabug 09-05-2011 10:25 AM

Does anyone else wonder how someone could just toss away such a sweet machine?

ging10ging 09-05-2011 03:01 PM

Happy for you. I remember those machines so good and along with the fabric. Good luck with all. Sue

You hit the Mother Lode! Congrats~

nwm50 09-06-2011 05:45 AM

Damaquilts......u did great on the cabinet & sew folded table too !!To one who inquired as to why getting rid of the Fw, didn't have the time/energy to mess with it. Have brought the decal & mat (for under machine) but still need to get what Lostn51 says work best, going to follow his tute on how to clean it & another friend has emailed me info from David McCallum for oil/lube help.
Haven't decided on a name yet....hmmm, think i will do a post for name help game!

What a DEAL!! Lucky you! I can't wait to see the updated pic of her when she's all cleaned up.
