BILLY!!! I am so glad you popped in to take a look and thanx for all the great info the serial # is G8084391.
Well I was wondering about getting the cabinet worked on and is there a way to redo all the decal work , etc? or should I should I just clean it and leave it be??
I really want to get it going, I know it wasn't broke just hasn't been used in long long time.
I can say that my MIL is not too happy about us, or me, having it. but really there is no one else in the family who will use it :?

It should not be that much to getting it sewing a perfect stitch and as for the decals just be happy with what you have and enjoy it. They were at one time reproducing the Red Eye decals and the company does not carry them right now. Whether they are out forever or just waiting for the next run I am not sure. But I just ordered a set set for the Singer 12 so when I find one that isnt that nice I will restore it back to factory fresh.

Singers dies were used till the cows came home and sometimes it is hard to make out the numbers. There were issues with the G and C with the dies for some machines. The C's looked like G's and visa versa so there is sometimes a bit of confusion every once in a while.
So your machine was allotted April 28, 1920 and 50,000 of them were made in that run.
Yours is about a year earlier than mine.
