What do you suggest one is to do with old machines that are not truly functional but have motors that do respond to electricity?? I would say "working somewhat" is the proper term. My husband can run a nuclear reactor, but forget about a little motor like this old singer (early 1960s).
Feel free to respond to this is you have any ideas on this topic! From Kate in small town Illinois, USA. :)
Hi Kate. Where I live there is no one around who can repair any type of sewing machine. All that I have done I learned through various places on the 'net and groups like this one.I suggest you start by giving her a really good cleaning and oiling. Check out the vintage machine thread on this board and jump in there with questions.To help further it would help if you gave more particulars about your machine.
