Have another question. What do I use to get cigarette smoke out of/off of a vintage wood cabinet? The finish is shot, so I can strip it. I just don't know what, if anything will get that old tar/nicotine out of the porious wood. I didn't discover this issue until I got home and started getting hives on my hands and arms. I'm allergic to the tar... time. So any advice? Take the time and expense to strip it? (It's a cabinet 40) or ditch it. I do have another cabinet that my machine will fit it.. .if I can get the 66 out of it, without cutting the electric cord.
Just switch the cabinets.
Why should you cut the electrical cord?
Some of the machines that I have I can't figure out how to get the cords out of the hole they run through without cutting them. The wiring is bad anyway so I don't mind cutting through them but I would like to find out the proper way to undo the wires.

I just bought a 27 off of Craig's list for $15. The side plate is missing. I bought it for the bobbin winder as the winder on my hc 27 is broken. This machine is in better shape so I just might keep it and look for another winder. Nancy you just might have made a horder out of me. lol Kathie

Anyone who wants a parlor cabinet should keep checking Craigslist. That's where I got mine, a year ago, for $100.00. I actually bought it because I wanted the Singer 'Red Eye' that was in it. I almost gave the cabinet away until I watched Treadle Lady's cute video about her parlor cabinet "Miss Ellen Elevator": [/quote]
If I find one for that price, you can bet I will enlarge the bathroom, lol.
