Thought that as I've just advertised this for sale I might as well leave a record of it.
Wonderful sewing machine, but someone had thought that screwing the spring clamps for the bobbin mechanism all the way in seemed like a pretty good idea. Result was a loud thump every revolution. Fixed now, all quiet again.

I used to have a Pfaff 51, but mine was gray, and had no hand crank. If it had looked like that, I would probably still have it.

I see that Morse crown! Such a treasure to own. Well done. Good looking machine.

Not a question. .I just bought a Brother precision deluxe portable window matic sewing machine model HA I-3B serial number A902313. Can you help me gather information on my new machine?
Thanks!

I just finished this Toyota made Brother. It was pretty dirty when I got it, but it cleaned up really nice. Here are a few before and after shots. I just love the color.

Grant -

I love the Brother. I'm a sucker for any machine in '57 Bel Air blue. You did a great job on the cleanup. It looks brand new.

Thank you Darren. I'm a sucker for that color too. It helps when the machine starts out being in good condition and has a cool color/paint job on it, like this one. So, I can't take all of the credit.
Missgigglewings, I used car wax on this one. I usually have good results with it. On the bare metal parts, I used a brass brush and followed it up with wadding polish, also with good results. You can see the full set of pictures of this here-

And thank you too missgigglewings.

Oh my! I just got this same "Dressmaker" on ebay! I just love the coffee and cream color. It sews beautifully, too. I love the simplicity of these machines.

I haven't seen one quite this color before:

She makes a very nice long stitch. Not many scratches. The color reminds me of lipstick.
