Truthfully the cabinet is worth around $600 because they are so rare. Its a drawing room cabinet and the fanciest one that singer made. It was truly a fine piece of furniture in its day.

Thanks Kathie, great help.

There are 2 Boye cases of 18s, but they are rusted, . . .

You may be able to rescue those needles. Try cleaning them with oxy-clean. . . . Will get some oxyclean. My DH says beet juice is supposed to clean rust off, lol.[/quote]

Evapo Rust is the best rust remover ever--and non-toxic.

Dust? What's that? Run some cloth through them, that will keep them dusted off!! Unfortunately, I don't sew enough to keep mine shiny. And that's OK.

And yes, I recognize the fact that I'm a hoarder. And that's OK, too.

[quote=Miz Johnny]Thanks for this information. I'm always looking for safe products to use while cleaning.

Just take the wiring loose from the footpedal, but make sure you mark which wire goes to which terminal. I've done it many times!!

I'm not offended; I'm definitely a hoarder. No dead animals or bugs under my stuff, but I have an enormous amount of "possibilities" I have been working on this for the past year, and am making great progress, but you would never know it to look at it.

The hoarder shows always have an "intervention", and indiscriminately toss stuff out. I think that would send me into a tailspin, so I have been steadily sorting and getting rid of the things I will never use.
I make regular runs to Goodwill!!

That's just like the one I just sold. And no, I didn't get anywhere NEAR that price!! LOL! It amazes me what people think these puppies are worth.

I don't know anyone who has given that much for one, and I have had several myself. They are somewhat rare, but if you want one, keep looking and it will turn up.
