Default Singer 15-91 Sidewinder

[ATTACH=CONFIG]590142[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]590143[/ATTACH]

You all know I get machines no one else wants. I paid parts price for this sad 15-91. Started playing with it and found that the motor runs, although, of course, the drive train doesn't. So with the clutch disengaged I have a very heavy AC powered Sidewinder.

All of the rust was concentrated near the bobbin area and I found a bit of chewed paper in the bobbin.
I suspect mice had lived there.

If nothing else, I can raid it for the motor/drive gear and control.
