Nancy,
Very pretty quilts and the machine is far too pretty to part out.

While servicing my FW this weekend, the flakes were falling into the gears. I was camping, so didn't have everything I needed for the job at hand. I just picked the flakes out with a pin, and carried on with the lube job. At the time I read the thread, I was unaware of the flakes, now I have a need to know.
Should I rewire the machine? Is that something which can be done by a good handyman, or do I need to pay a sewing machine specialist more than I paid for the machine to do the job? It's a great little machine and I like to keep it up, but that stitch in time thing is nagging me.

For the flaking insulation, try in the 980s somewhere--I think?

Where can I find information on a Jones serial number 92397. I was told that this machine was made in 1890. Kathie
