Hi My DH Surprised me by buy-ing me a vintage singer with cabinet. It is still in the car I'll post pic of it tomarrow. Theresse
[quote=beaniekins]I got a new vintage machine today. It is an 1936 electrical model singer, I'm not sure on the exact model number. The serial number is JB 536014. The power works, but the motor doesn't turn the wheel very well. I suspect because the previous owner used the wrong oil, and too much of it. Is taking it apart and cleaning it the only thing that will help with that? The belt is in good shape so I don't think that's the problem. I got it for $30 since the owner was moving and didn't want to take it along.
Check the tutorials in "search". Billy has a tut on how to clean a machine, and Glenn(?) has one on cabinet repair.

Billy I went to this site and printed it out. It came out the size of a postage stamp. How do I make it bigger so I can read it? Kathie
I have not been an official member of the QB for long, but really enjoy reading to the stories of how the machines find us, and seeing the new surprises!! Can't wait to see the pictures.

I think I will call on this cabinet. I don't think I have seen one that opens on both sides like this one. I like the fold down drawer in the front too. I will ask for a better picture of the decals.
According to serial listed, is Model 66, Jan. 28, 1930, 23,609 made.

You can find out which model you have by looking up the serial number on this site:

I can't be 100% sure but it may be a model 99.

How do I get the wires leading from the machine (for the foot and the plug) through the hole under the handwheel? I know there must be a way to do it :?:

It favors the Singer #48 cabinet, very modern and handsome looking.
