And what about restoring the finish? I don't ever plan on selling or using it. I just want it for the memories I have of my Mom sewing on one just like it.
It is very dirty but I tried cleaning it some. It really need a more thorough cleaning when I have the time.
Here are a couple pics
What is the Serial number on the machine? It is located on a boss in front of the pillar.
Use Go Jo NON PUMICE hand cleaner to clean the machines finish then follow up with Scotts Liquid Gold in the pour bottle. You can find all of this at you local hardware store.
Also you can find the plate your missing at you local sewing repair shop or the Singer Dealer.
