    Has anyone tried using a sonic cleaner to remove rust and grime from small sewing machine parts?
    My son got a sonic cleaner to clean dive regulator parts.
    And sonic cleaners are available to clean jewelry, so why not sewing machine parts?

    Looky what came in the mail from Billy (Lostin51) :mrgreen:
    It's awesome!!!!!!

    He said it ran really smooth and he was RIGHT!!! I haven't run it with thread yet but was amazed at how much pep it has!!! This sewing machine is H-E-A-V-Y---must weight about 200 lbs...lol!

    Billy, I can't figure out how to put the spool pin back in or even where it goes :roll:

    My new Atlas sewing machine!! Isn't she pretty?

    They may change their mind about shipping. I'm 9 minutes away from winning an auction with them (crossing fingers.) At first it was listed as 'pick-up only' but they switched after a few days to allowing shipping.
    Thanks....maybe I'll watch it. Kinda iffy about getting any more machines for a while. This one is really really NICE...looks nearly PERFECT!!!! Someone needs to get it!!

    Hahaha!! Well, I put it in my truck to bring to work to show someone, but DH showed up to pick up the truck to go get our trailer, and while he had it, he saw the case in the back seat. I told him I had picked it up from layaway and had put it in the truck. It's only the timeframe that those happened that I kinda fudged on a bit.....it's OK. I bought it with my overtime pay money, so it didn't come out of our household money!! I'm legal!! :thumbup: :thumbup:

    My wife said I could not have any more machines until I paint the house. I have a really big two story house so it could be awhile for me. :lol: :lol:
