Oh and all those cracks in the japan is really in the shellac or varnish that is protecting the decals. It is called crazing and you can go ahead and clean the entire machine with the GoJo and polish it with the Liquid Gold.

I saw online a Two Spools in a machine like what you describe. Since my cowboy, Mr. Two Spools, is weathered and rugged, I will just keep him in the cabinet that my husband has cleverly engineered. There is something about the character of this machine. It may be that he has been living in dust for so long that I see no need to make his life comfy and perfect now. Mr. Two Spools looks very happy in his new setting- and he should be since he is sitting by two gorgeous ladies. Thanks for the information on the cleaning of the shellac. This may be it for his cleaning since his imperfections and blemishes are all part of his character. :)

Took a section from another Singer cabinet that was wider for the front, rigged up something in the one pin area where the pin isn't used (can't be used since it doesn't line up), and has one pin in place that does line up.

I finally got pictures of my Singer 72w19 hemstitch sewing machine. I have no idea what to do with it, but since DH got it for me I'll keep it.
Serial number w568268. It came with 12 needles, 9 bobbins and instruction manual.

I'm sure my girls would have preferred Chicago for school!! My youngest is in school at U of Louisville; but my DH is a Cats fan.
