Nothing a toothbrush and a damp cloth couldnt sort out.
So.here are the initial pictures to give you a starting point. i may also work on the case, sand it, oil.whatever. so far its been wiped (vigorously) with only water and then oiled all over.i'll use fairy liquid in warm water and alcohol when i'm ready to put the new decals on. i've been unable to get everything i need as yet.for instance, the metal brackets/plates on the left and right of the base are not correct therefore i cant fit a totally correct extension table.but for now, the first stage is complete. She's yet to have a 'deep clean'.it was completely filthy and caked with that horrible hardened grime/oil which Sir Mac has since told me was probably caused by someone using incorrect oil on it, most likely 2 in 1.a word of advice.ONLY use top grade and correct oils and greases on your sewing machines!! i use only Singer ems sensible huh? and the inside of the machine was as bad as the outside.rank grime, fluff, lumps of it jammed in around the feed dogs.the pivots, rods and levers behind the decorative face plate were the worst i've seen to date.they now look lovely and it runs like a dream. i knew it was going to be hard work and yes i've put a bit of money into it and a helluva lot of time.but hey, she's been worth it. The lovely lady, Jan, who was selling it kindly agreed to post it as it was meant to be collection only so here it is. Hi.i recently saw this on ebay and it was the first 'EA.' serial numbered machine i've seen apart from one that was in totally mint condition and being sold by a sewing machine shop therefore at such a high price i couldnt justify buying it.
