Goodwill Rescue
1 Attachment(s)
I rescued a brown crinkle Domestic rotary by White Manufacturing. She needs a good cleaning and oiling. There is a possible fray in the electical cord covered by electrical tape. The cabinet needs refinishing but I love the style of it. Serial #151-15384. I have not been able to find anything about her online yet. If anyone knows where to look let me know.
I did have to leave 2 other machines and an empty cabinet at the Goodwill in Apache Junction, Az. A portable Singer and a Kenmore in a cabinet. All priced around $30 - $35.

She is a beauty!
Great thing you did, rescuing her! |
Sweet!! I'm glad she got a new home!
|
That's a nice looking machine. I like the cabinet too.
|
I have the same machine....YOU will LOVE her!!! Beautiful straight stitch, and purrrrrsssss like a kitten :)

I have the same machine, a brown crinkle, badged White Rotary 35X, age 1936. I paid $15.00 at our local Goodwill. It is in the exact same cabinet as yours and I love the cabinet too. Haven't refinished it yet but would make a nice bedside table. Then I could sew in my bedroom. I sew in almost every other room in the house so why not.

Way to go, very nice.

Good rescue! Even her finish looks good. I'm working on an old Singer treadle cabinet now that I think I'll put in my bedroom. Hubby keeps saying we need a bigger house since there are 2 of us and ours is only 2200 sq. ft. I think he's dropping subtle hints that fall on deaf ears! LOL

Your machine was made in 1940. See info here http://home-and-garden.webshots.com/...62576881ZWxouE
Yes, do check the wiring. It is often bad if it has not previously been replaced. Nice machine. Also check the drive wheel on the motor. Often there is a flat spot from the motor resting against the drive mechanism. Sort of thumps when you sew with it. |
