That's what I do sometimes or when cleaning the machine the name is given, a rebirth. Looking forward to pictures of that Davis.

Pictures on the VSM Pictures thread. She's cleaned, now just have to get her into a treadle. She was filthy!! Took me about 4 hours to get her even reasonably clean. I still haven't taken the face plate off to clean in there, but everything moves reasonably smoothly now after oiling, etc.

I'm new here, I recently joined a few days ago. I think the old sewing machines are so unique and interesting. I don't know why I' so drawn to them?

Thanks, Glenn. I have an "extra" 319 around here somewhere, it would be fun to treadle it!! The next time it comes out of hiding, I will check it out and see.

I've been looking through Yahoo Japan (ebay) with great enjoyment since learning about the Hitachi. Has anyone ever seen a Singer Industrial like this one: http://yahoo.aleado.com/lot?auctionID=n105905360

Hey, Glenn, I might have some 18s if you need them. I bought a lot of Boye needle tubes to get the #10s for my Davis, and I think there were some 18s in there. Let me know.
Sorry Glenn, I mean no harm, but those Wheeler and Wilson are such cool machines - so is the Singer 9W. I keep a Singer 9W treadle in our bedroom and use it exclusively for mending. I also have the Wheeler and Wilson from Portugal that I keep in the dinning room just for his looks! Nancy |

Oh!! I tried sewing through some papertowels on my Davis VF tonite, and it worked!! Cool! I can't wait to get her into a treadle base so I can sew with her. I still haven't figured out a name....maybe when I get her into a treadle she'll tell me!! LOL

Glenn, here are pics of my treadle cabinet. Is there too much of the finish gone to use the Howard's Restore product? Thanks.
Glenn you are the expert? Nancy |
