How to Clean/Restore a 1926 Singer 99K
#11
Like what I posted above. It's usually not necessary to disassemble a machine fully. A general cleaning with the correct tools, lube and degunking is typically all a machine needs about 90% of the time. Showing newbies that you need to take a machine completely apart to clean it, is not something I'd do or recommend. In fact, I would bet many newbies who follow the directions on this blog will end up with a non-working and out of time machine.
Clean as per the Singer manual instructions, paying special attention to the feed dog bunnies and oil as per Singer instructions with Singer oil or Tri Flow.
The sticky of Muv's videos are a great illustration and extension to these instructions.
Finish by cleaning with a clean (Singer) oil soaked rag and the machine should be up to 1000% better than it was.
Oh, and if it ends up not shiny, I gently apply some furniture polish.
