Thank you Charlee, well said!!

I clean my machines per your instructions and oil them, besides oil to they need lube in some parts like the tuning fork thing? I want to make sure I am maintaining them right. :?:

If I were closer to you I would get it and turn it into a fine sewing cabinet. I like Carlee think it is a sin to paint nice wood. Glenn

You can use sewing machine oil on everything lord knows I do!! There should be holes and the rear inspection plate to get to where you need to go. Make sure you oil the stew out of it anywhere metal touches metal. Dont forget the stitch length regulator and the little roller in there that is part of it.

Sounds like you have it just about ready to show off Glenn!!

Arkansas is getting the you know what kicked out of it again with several tornadoes on the ground and looks to be headed this way!!

It is starting where it did last night so everyone is saying it is going to be just like it was then.

Billy, could you possibly tell me how old my cabinet Kenmore is, her model #120.490. Her booklet doesn't say when made, just electric rotary and needs no oil. Thank you.

Yep its a Koyo-Seiko the same folks that made my Universal 15!!

I had no idea they made the 99's so thats something else to add to my research and help me know more about the company that made them.

You did say that it has the Standard Badge on the pillar right?
