For the most part I used car wax to clean up the paint, and metal polish on the plated parts. ~G~ |

other than New National what is this? My friend gave it to me.
I was reading that because I happened to buy one today that I think is an R1. I'm a little embarrassed to admit I bought it, but it was sitting on Craigslist for weeks unclaimed because someone glued a teddy bear, doily and a floral arrangement on it. It's just hot melt glue, and I might remove all that, Or might not even bother. In can be a "cute" reminder that I probably should curb my impulses. All the parts from under the bed are missing (Yes, I knew that when I bought it.) Other than that, there is more that is intact than I expected. I figured the bear was hiding a big break and major rust, but it's not. Nothing is missing above the bed except for the bobbin tire and belt, and of course a good deal of decal. I can't move the stop motion screw, and nothing moves. There are no attachments other than the straight stitch foot, and there's no cabinet or case. It's been maimed and cannibalized but it won't get any worse in my care. I was pleased to find the user manual for my machine on the Smithsonian website. Maybe you'll have similar luck. I don't know how to negotiate that site but landed directly on the item I wanted from Google. |
