I've got two more wood cases in queue. Should I start new threads for them or post 'em here as I finish them?

Also got a 99K bentwood case that I need to stain and finish. Can't decide what stain to use, and need a new decal.
Where do you get one. Someone here mentioned that recently, can't remember who.

Well, if by the supports you mean the ones at the front of the case here's how I fixed the case to our Dressmaker 7000. I roughed up the plastic of the case and the plastic (delrin) rods then JB Welded them. AFter that I stuck a self adhesive rubber cushion on the top of each one.

Joe,

I saw waterslides for the cases on fleabay yesterday.

I'd prefer keeping the information all together.

Links ????

You can also find them just by searching for Singer waterslide (they also have them for the 128).

Here is another link for decals.

Ken, grayhare,

Thanks for the links. I've bookmarked them. I had the Keeler sales at one time but lost it when my other computer failed. I've been keeping updated back ups a bit better now.

Joe

can you apply decals to patch existing ones without removing the originals? in other words, do you have to start with a blank machine or can you use bits to patch missing pieces and then just shellac over the repaired parts?

oregongirl,

I cannot answer that question, and I've been wondering the same thing myself. I think the person to talk to would be forum member Glenn. I understand he's really good at them.

Hi Joe

I googled repairing machine cases and this post came up. It is really heavy sent. I just received my beautiful Necchi BU in the mail, but alas the case is so broken. It broke in 3 different parts, worse than what this case looks like.

blueheavenfla mentioned on a post dated 9/5/12 that photos and clear explanations were given to show what exactly you did to repair the boxes, bases and even the wiring.

Is it possible to post these again? I tried to find them but I am not able to. I am also very computer illiterate.
I did see the beautiful pictures of how you restore the base of another case. That tutorial was truly amazing, not to mention the newly constructed base.

But is it possible to post the pictures and explanations again?
