Billy - any advice for a Goodwill find - I found a Singer 338 I looked it up on the Singer Web site - 300 series Jan 25 1965, 60000 made , in Kilboure Clydebank Scotland. I got it for $25.00 with cabinet. Missing the power cord and foot pedal though. I did find that on ebay tonight for 15.00 plus shipping. No extra pieces either.

Also, what should I do to protect that chipped spot and keep it from getting worse?
Thanks for your input! If not for the encouragement here I would not have two beautiful new to me vintage machines :thumbup:
What Singer site can I use to learn about my vintage machine? I'll have to get a picture of it. It has Egyption graphic on it. It doesn't work, to many years without use before I got it. It was my husband's great-grandmother's. I would eventually like to have it fixed, but am not sure where to go with it. I refinished the table as best as I was able, but the front drawer still needs help.

If so, maybe you got oil on the belt race somehow.
If not, maybe you somehow moved a lint or thread jam so that it is keeping things from moving smoothly. The oil/lint combination can make a hard little wad.
If it is neither of these, some other board member will have more suggestions. Don't worry!
