Remember this cabinet, it came black and looking like crap? We used a bunch of cans of stripper to get all three coats of black paint off -- and it had a coat of primer, DH did some sand blasting of the treadle irons, lots of elbow grease (mostly my DH's since he decided I was too slow at it), a little staining and finishing and look what my late 1800's Wilcox and Gibbs gets back! His original cabinet!!!!!!!!!!!Yippppeeeeeeeee!

Minus the machine, its made for a smaller-than-full-size machine... but what was inside the cabinet is what got me! And I think hubby can just build me a support plate that ANY machine can sit on, but still leave room for the treadle belt...
And the price was excellent on this ~ free :) |

Here is a site you might want to check out about Sears sewing machines. If you have a serial number and model number, someone here may have the same machine so they could help you out too. Don't be afraid to just jump right in at any time. http://www.ismacs.net/sears/sears.html Nancy |

Glenn where are you? You have to see this! I am so proud of my husband -- he's the one that did this! Nancy |
O.K.-Here goes! The Kenmore machine I have is Model no.1516 zig-zag machine.It looks like it takes cams to ziz-zag and they are not with the machine. It runs beautiful,and hasn't a scratch on it. Are parts available? It's a light green color in a portable case. What do I actually have and where do I go from here? There's also a serial no.-0028349 and a motor model no.-5186

Bily,
Can you help me? I need singer motor lubicant in tube for my old singer 301's. Hubby wants to get this done before I use the machines much. Can you tell me where to get this? thanks |
