I guess that's what this thread is for, isn't it?! :D But, yes we love all our vintage machines, and like most collectors can't wait to find more! Nancy |

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.
