Default Singer 201 in a No 48 Cabinet

This was on my local craigslist for $25, couldn't pass it up, a 201 in a No 48 cabinet (I had to look that up). It came with a few extras as pictured. The wiring is fried to a crisp, so everything is apart right now, gotta pick up some more heat shrink tubing.

The table needs some work, and my UPS tracking tells me it will arrive Saturday before noon at daselby's for one of his beautiful restoration jobs (I sure hope he's paying attention)!

Just kidding, I'm on my own tackling the furniture and will have to push myself out of my comfort zone.

The cabinet is a bit rough, but the machine looks great. I'm not a lot of help. My mother did beautiful furniture restoration, but like her green thumb I didn't inherit that gene.

rockler.com is some serious word working equipment. By pushing myself "out of my comfort zone" I was thinking more of actually opening my eyes while I splashed things on the wood.
