And did you know about the site, Tools for Self-Reliance? They have complete, detailed instruction how to refurbish the 66s, 99s, 15Ks and 201s... just those four machines but very great instruction on each of those:

You have to open up a lot of pdf.s to see it all. It's designed to be printed out and kept in a notebook, for working on sewing machine reconditions.

I just carried the 29 pound 128 across the LR now my neck hurts.
Miss No name Leader is in the house. My weight lifter grandson wrapped his arms around the cabinet and carried her in easily. She is very dirty as is the 128. I have my work curt out for me when the weather breaks. She is a cutie. I copied the book so I'm not trashing it as I learn what I need to know. The seller has Singer attachments in with the Leader, so I have a ruffler for both machines. Woohoo! Here we go.
Love your machines.

I have another 185K like it that I am going to repaint and sell but I am wondering what color to shoot it.
Billy,
I love that "black cherry" perle color you did on a machine and then posted a little while back.. I am longing for that color on a machine!
