"I cannot find the Liquid Gold in a pour bottle anywhere in this State. Where did you find this product? Thanks."

I found mine at Lowes in the cleaning supplies. Be sure you get the pourable one and not the spray.

Is the Liquid Gold just for the cabinet?

After cleaning this machine, it looks pretty dull.

I found Part 2 and part 3 or the tutorial, is there a part 1?

Thanks!

Nancy

Liquid Gold is for the machine also, it will not hurt the finish and make it glossy ans have a high luster.

Yes there is a part one right here:

Billy

I need a shuttle for my Singer 28k. I purchased one on ebay but it is too long, by about an 8th of and inch. Oh, and how much are your bobbins?

Thanks,
Jenna

I will PM you

If you can get it get it!! It is the "Pheasant" decal and is quite hard to come by in the condition that the one in the photo is. I have one but I did a repaint on it because it was so bad off. It is now a Candy RootBeer.

Billy

I'd love to see a picture of this one Billy! Candy RootBeer sounds like a very pretty color and I bet it wouldn't taste too bad either, lol. Just give it a lick, huh!?!

A post on here way back in May had a letter form a man named Charles. He lives in Western Pa and wanted to get rid of some of his machines.
I emailed him and told him my situation. I was looking for a singer 66 or 15 to use as physical therapy as I am disabled.
I told him that I had a Domestic but that I didnt not want to use it for therapy work as it is old and hard to find needles and parts for.


Well Chuck and his wife were the NICEST people I have met in a long time.
I came home with 3 machines

and here they are

my new babies and I love them
They are all singer 66's but I dont know what number

Well I can say you have some nice machines there!! The dohickey that your curious about it where you loop the thread to be able to wind the bobbin.

The back tack is more than likely a 66-16 and the Red Eye is a 66-1.

Found it! I have not taken any of my 4 treadles apart like you did, though!

I take it when the decals are turning silver that the shillac (or whatever is on top is gone)?

Between my DH and myself, we have cleaned up the Singer 27, 1901 about as good as it will ever be. She looks so much better. My DH just screwed the cabinet back together and took out all the toe nailed nails. The middle drawer is missing, but now it looks as if the cabinet is complete -- you just can't put the machine down -- nothing to hide it.

I just love these old machines and the cabinets are so ornate!

Billy or whomever, on your Singer 27's is there a tension spring? It appears my machine is complete except for that and I am not sure it ever had one?

Can I use a regular Schmetz needle? I am ready to see if it will sew!

Ok, I think this is the one that I have! Are the decals flowers and birds? The decals on my machine are silver, but I can tell they use to be green and gold!

Will you post a better, close up picture if you get it!

I can't wait to see a better picture of this machine! I think it is the exact same one that I just got for $5 last week! Mine is in a lot worse shape, but it looks like pheasants! I am so excited!

Yes there is a spring for the tension and they are available I think I have a few here in my stock. Regular 15x1 needles are the norm.
