Wow, very exciting project Steve. A brand new MOP Singer 12. Do you have a Japanning oven?

That's what I was thinking. Very neat project Steve! I know I want to see it.

Could you use a small kiln as a Japanning oven?

I found this when searching for an answer.

I love your new toy.

I have the same 201 in the same cabinet. I was SHOCKED to discover how FAST these old potted motor Singer's sew! I love how the top drawer has a rack attached to the inside to hold spools of thread or bobbins, & the bottom drawer has a double layer, or a "hidden" drawer, because there is a shallow wood box that inserts at the front of the drawer, hiding a cubby underneath it! The back of the drawer is tall enough for patterns to stand up!

Can anyone identify this machine?[ATTACH=CONFIG]504057[/ATTACH] I'm not sure if it's worth buying and restoring. The serial number is AG23989C. Thanks!

Looks like it might be a blackside godzills finish 99.
Probably quite collectible.
