It had so much paint on the cabinet that I am on my second can of stripper. I am finally getting down to the wood, but now there is white paint imbedded in the grain of the wood!
Glenn, will I ever get this cabinet back to the original? Geeze, I can't believe what some people do to these antique cabinets and machines!
On a good note, my Wilcox and Gibbs sews beautifully!

Its funny how that all works. they say everything in time goes in circles. styles, fads, etc......... at one time it was the thing to do, painting everything. now we strip it all off! it is a lot of work, but well worth it!
My MIL (long dead now) once told me putting paint on 'drab' wood added a little color to plain peoples lives. I guess I can understand that thinking when you look at it like that. They probably never thought anybody would give a hoot about what they were painting anyway. Oh well, hard work never hurt anybody (especially when you are uncovering a treasure)
Love your new finds!! I just got a 319W but green. Neat machine!! Also, Happy Belated Birthday to the honorees!! I haven't been on board in a day or two. My two girls came in for the weekend, one due to oral surgery, so I have had to be a mom a little.
Here is the 319W. I 've been late to post photos of this as I've been busy playing with it! I just love, love, love this machine. It sews beautifully and came with all the attachments, instructions and all the cams for the decorative stitches. Also came in a trapezoid case, that seems to go with my 301's, at least that's where I see them the most frequently. You guys are correct, sometimes the machines find you! I'm a happy gal!

Ok, OK, So, how lucky am I???? Look at what I got today from an auction for $27..... A 99-13, born in 1928 in Istanbul. This is the last machine I will be able to buy for a while. DH will be not happy about this one, probably!! LOL But he loves me and I don't get my hair or nails done, and I don't go shoe or purse shopping every week. So, maybe he'll be OK. Whatever...too late...I already won it!!! LOL :thumbup:
