You stole the machine if it is the "Brown Lotus" decal!! The lotus is a hard to come by pattern anyway and the Brown Lotus is way more rare here in the States!.

And it is in the better of the cabinets offered by Singer

We don't know about the decal's on the machine but the cabinet is the same. That's what we are trying to restore. Got it for 20.00 at the flea market. Machine runs good just can't remember off hand what decal is on it.

When rewiring the old button foot controllers, do we still need to find a heat shield for the wiring inside the box? On the Sew-Classic blog, she reuses the old shields on the new wires, but mine were not in any shape to be reused. Do I need to track down the shields?

NAPA has them and I will have to go out side and look up the part number for it. You really do not have to use them but if you want to its not a problem. I think the wire is rated at 350 or 400* or so and its not going to get that hot when you use it.

Thanks. Now if I could just get that nasty stubborn screw loose. Tried WD40, PB Blaster, bought a large screwdriver, hit it with a hammer, heated it with a hair dryer, and am ready to give up and take it to the repair shop.

Suzanne, today is not your day for fixing it, is it? Maybe tomorrow will be a better day.

If you are like me though, you just want to get it done so you aren't thinking about all night long. :roll:

A fellow on my local CL is trying to sell just the cabinet for $275.00, no machine. It looks just like yours!
