That brings back memories of all the controversy about how to care for wood furniture; leather too! :-D

Nanasmom: Is the Mother's chrome polish found at big box stores, like WM or Lowes or at an automotive supply store?
It may be Mother's Mag chrome polish amd it might be found at WM or KMart but also at automotive stores. I just smile sweetly when they ask why I want that and say to polish my sewing machine of course. Speechless, every time.:mrgreen:

I have cleaned this singer 500, I swear it had sand dumped in it. It was hard to turn the dials on the front. It is clean now but I can not get the calm to go back in. It pops out and will not stay in. I set the front dial to B and the back dial to L and special, it’s the #1 cam. The dials trun much better.I took the motor out cleaned the sand off and greased the worm gear. I don’t know what else to do.
Thanks
