I'd love to find a solid blue bobbin winder tire and the original access panel plate to complete the job.
I'll update my pictures when I'm finished. |
Do you restore machines for others? I have one I need done and can't find anyone that does that type of work. Any suggestions on finding someone?

Right now it's just a hobby for me. I love fixing things especially things that people can use. These machines are a part of history and works of art. I would hate to see them end up as scrap metal or in a landfill. I highly doubt that the machines that are made today will still be functional 50 or more years from now. I'm sorry but I don't know anybody in your area that does this work. I would suggest you try and do a restoration yourself. The internet has great resources on how to do it. It's a very rewarding task and you might get hooked like many of us on this board.
