Now all I gotta do is rebuild the base. It needs that front panel remade. It also needs a new bottom. Then I can work on cleaning up the lid and putting that on top. Then it&#039;ll be done. </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve always maintained that these machines are indestructible. It&#039;s impossible to kill an antique Singer. It&#039;s just a matter of how hard you wanna work to revive it. </p><p><br /></p><p>The fact that this sews on the first try after just cleaning, scrubbing, a generous dose of oil and a new needle is proof of nothing less than absolute quality.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
