Yes,Sherri it had a "cabinet" but it kinda looks like a table to me. It is missing its nose and has a few attachements and the manual so it probably wasn't a good buy--but I had to have it.

Can't wait to see it once you put them through their paces. LOL.

I think we'll start working on them this weekend cause it's sure too wet to do anything else. We went shopping last night for all the cleaning supplies we need to do the job right. My DH seems to be getting into this sewing machine thing and it's fun cause we can do it together.

I think my next adventure is to try painting a hot rod machine… :-D
Do you think that I could get satisfactory results with a spray paint application?

Judy sometimes you can go to the local automotive paint stores and they can put the colors in the spray cans for you. I would use automotive paint if I were you or an epoxy paint.

My question is can I use modern day sewing machine oil on it?

I will be taking pics and posting sometime this morning.

BUMP

Yes you can, I use the Singer oil on all of mine and never had an issue.

Hope this helps you

I also got a rockteer on ebay this morning. It is missing it's "nose" think I'll be able to locate one? Am I crazy? Don't answer. I think I know.

The 500 series machines were notorious for the faceplates and the tops of the machines breaking. It might take you a while but they are out there to be found but be very careful with them.
