Here's a White Rotary 77 that my neighbor gave me over the winter. I promptly put it in the garage until it warmed up enough for me to see if it worked. I totally cleaned it, oiled it and off she went. I was very surprised at how quiet a machine it is. It looks almost brand new and it was made in 1951! The table is VERY heavy and isn't the veneer type tables that Singer produced. It's real wood. I'm still debating about keeping it or passing it along to someone else. I really don't have the space for another cabinet. It sews a great stitch and you can control the stitch length of the reverse and forward stitching separately, which is very interesting.
I've had my eye on a certain Kenmore machine, and it came up for a song on CL last night and of course someone beat me to it:< So, getting this one going again made me feel a little better:> |

Nearly every one of my old manuals for my machines tells you that if your machine is sluggish from old oil to "oil" the machine with a few drops of kerosene, run it until it loosens up, and then re-oil with a good quality sewing machine oil.
