Vintage Sewing Machine Shop.....Come on in and sit a spell
#441
Me again. This is what I know about a White Rotary Electric I am considering. It's a cast iron 1940's White Rotary Sewing Machine in cabinet, electric, ... The only number the owner could find on it was 9801-3 on the very bottom of machine. It was patented in 1927. The motor is 65 watts, 110 volts.
There must be a serial number which this person cannot locate. If anyone knows anything about this I would appreciate hearing from you. Thank you.
:shock: :shock:

Just poppin in before studying more for final exams tom.
Wow, so if I can get my hands on one little ole vintage like the ones of my dreams, and it will follow me home?
I reallly want to find some that need TLC and try my hand at it. Never afraid to get down and dirty. My pops was a mechanic so taught me a bit about machines. Used to fix my own bikes, mowers, and such.
Can't wait to see what you do with the bad spot Billy. Such talent.
I saw a chain stitch machine recently on e-bay and wondered what the heck it was. Hmmm.
Gotta go. Breakfast long over and time to study. Have a good one all.

Billy, thanks for the reply on the white rotary.
I have another question on cleaning. You have mentioined to use kerosene for gooey gunky stuff on the metal parts... will another non abrasive cleaner work also or is there a certain reason why you say to use kerosene?
