How much time do you think this Singer 15 would take to refurbish???

NICE! good job Joe! I agree about the paint. Although I have to say the decals look pretty straight line.... I might go for it...

While having a job, 2 weeks, on vacation, 3-4 days.

I have 6 or 7 in much better shape in line ahead of that one...

What is ATF?.

There are machines that I see - no brainer - fix it. Then there are machines like that Singer 15 - something compelling about the machine yet an awful lot of labor. A little rust or a lot of dried up oil can be overcome - and rather quickly most of the time. A LOT of rust??? Days??? Weeks??? Bent tensions no problem. Rust intimidates me I guess.

It's the oil in the transmission of your car that makes it go. No ATF, no zoom zoom.
