The cabinet is quite lovely. I hear that Howard's Restor-A-Finish will remove rings and water spots without having to strip and totally refinish the wood. You buy it in the wood color you need, such as oak, cherry, walnut... I have some to use on my old cabinets, but haven't gotten that far yet. ;o) I'm planning to use it on my dining room table, as well.
That is a beautiful machine and cabinet. Good job on the cleaning up. Very nice!!!

Someone in another thread just posted a red Brother machine from CL. It looks to be a 60s machine and still metal. I love red, so, of course, I'm drooling.
Thanks purplefiend for the pictrues.
Which thread? I love to look at the colored machines!!

only in a nice cabinet...
It looks like an exact clone of a Singer 15. This is the only Kenmore I have seen that looks like this. Does anyone know anything about this model machine? I couldn't find numbers on the machine, at all.
