Here's the new paint job. Miriam is right, easier to coordinate color with the hand wheel. My brother built the box, I sanded and painted. The machine goes from a clickity, clickity to a hum when in the wooden box. Gotta take that screw to a hardware store and see if it is a standard.

Good to know about the gun cleaner. I would stand it up right side up and put tri flow around both bars. Leave it in time out for a while.
Then have a drink myself.

redmadder.... it's looking really nice. My favorite color is green. I could LOVE this machine.
Why singers? I can still get the parts when I buy one... when the slide plate is gone, or the bobbin case is bent. I don't think I could get what I needed if I got another brand. And these singers were made so well. I still LOVE the click, click, click they make when they work. ... music to my ears. The clack-clack-clack of new machines drives me crazy... can hardly be in the same room.
