I finally finished my 1950 Singer 99 that I am going to take and display at a local art show along with my Minnesota H.

Hmmmm. I saw that all of the metal bits had the same "surface"condition. so I was wondering what you use to make them have the same finish. (In commercial metal finishing they refer to the surface polishing as "conditioning")

Grant, did you redo the decals? They are in such perfect condition..... amazing.
While you all are talking about the nice metal finish, I have a question. The Singer 101 machine that I bought last summer was missing the slide plate. I bought a replacement one but hadn't had a chance to try it on the machine until I was down at my son's house over the weekend. To make a long story short, the plate does go on the machine but doesn't slide well. In fact, I had to use a screwdriver to get the bobbin area open so I know I need to do something to make it move more easily. What do you suggest? I've thought of grinding it a little or using sand paper for metal. I'm sure it won't take much adjustment.... just would like to know what the experts suggest.
