    I did not notice that the bulb cover could actually be removed. That is great news. And, it never occurred to me to re-bevel the ends of the rings. Seems pretty obvious in hindsight. I am encouraged...

    What tool(s) or method did you use to get the rings off? Just using screwdrivers as miniature pry bars, I could get one ring moved a little, but couldn't figure how to get the 2 big rings past the...

    Singer 101 With An Odd Attachment

    I recently got an aluminum 101, with a serial # from 1924. It was in a bentwood case (clearly not the original) which had some rough holes drilled here and there to reorient the wiring for a Bakelite...

    I'm certain that I'll be able to find a replacement. My question was partly prompted by just plain curiosity, wanting to be a little more knowledgeable. Thanks for checking for me!

    I'm looking for a replacement for the light socket on my 201-2. Looking at photos of Featherweight light sockets online they look like the might be the same part. Can anyone confirm that they are, or...

    JB Weld is a great, great product, but like any adhesive, even epoxy, it requires a good (and reasonable size) mating surface between the two parts being attached together. In my case, the break in...

    201-2 Spool Pin

    I just got a 201-2 delivered by USPS, and found that in spite of some effort by the seller to protect the spool pin, it was broken off in transit.

    Unlike my other machines that simply have a...

    I am refurbishing one of my 15-91's, and I've found that the wire from the motor to the 3-pin power connector needs to be replaced, and perhaps the wire for the lamp and the foot controller as well....

    Sewhandy 20-10 Take-a-part

    I just picked up a 1950's Singer 20-10 to give to my wife for Christmas. It may be the only sewing/quilting related item she doesn't already have in her sewing room. It's pretty clean, but the hand...

    Cleaning Seat Cover From Singer Cabinet

    I have two knee-lever machines. The one with the curved lever, that started this thread and doesn’t fit in the case lid, is on the 99 from 1929. It is marked “18195”.

    I just acquired an 1897 28K in a portable coffin-style case. It wasn't until I got it home that I noticed treadle belt holes in the base of the wooden case. I've seen photos of treadle cabinets with...
