Have another question. What do I use to get cigarette smoke out of/off of a vintage wood cabinet? I do have another cabinet that my machine will fit it.. .if I can get the 66 out of it, without cutting the electric cord.
Just switch the cabinets.
Why should you cut the electrical cord?
The electric cord runs through a very small grommet in the side plate of the cabinet. It's a captive cord. Also, I just noticed that the kneelever/footpedal apparatus is totally different between the 20's 66 and the 40's 15-91. Hum.

But, yes we love all our vintage machines, and like most collectors can't wait to find more!

I just remembered that Dunster (I think) posted a refinish tute somewhere on here. I'll go a-searching for it. I'm going to hope the varnish prevented the tar from soaking into the porous wood underneath. I'll give it a shot. First I'll try OXY cotton balls on one spot. I don't care if it strips it (since the finish is dead anyways) and maybe I can get enough tar gunk off of it...

There is a beautiful parlor cabinet with a so so Singer in it in the Wichita, KS area. Here is the link so you can drool over the cabinet. No, I'm not going to see or buy it. They are pretty proud of it, lol.
