What would you do with this?

You are braver than I if you plugged that in. I have a 15 that I have deep fear of testing it.
I posted one like this in the giggle thread the other day (because the price went up). Tammi set me straight that it's a Crinkle Blackside 128. You can verify the serial number here: http://www.ismacs.net/singer_sewing_...l-numbers.html

That machine would be a pretty easy fix up if you can find a slide plate. Sew-classic has cords - You can rewire the motor (I think there is a tutorial on here somewhere) or you can replace the motor - it is just one screw. http://shop.sew-classic.com/Cord-Set...143-SCE143.htm

I have amazed myself and fixed up worse looking machines than that one.

I thought it was a 128 - it looks just like mine except mine is in good shape. It's going on Craigslist very soon. I really don't want to ship a 29 pound machine. Unless the 'tough' look of the Godzilla 'speaks' to you, I'd pass as long as you only want it for display.

If you think that machine looks bad, you obviously haven't seen some of the gems that show up on Craigslist.

dltaylor,
I'd say thanks for the pics but they are so huge my dial up simply cannot open them. That 's why I ask people to post pics sized to 800x600. Or better yet 640x480. Those sizes always open on dial ups and are big enough to see details.
According to ISMACS at { http://www.ismacs.net/singer_sewing_...l-numbers.html } That machine is a 128, 1 of 10,000, allotted November 11, 1941.
Before you try and run it again oil it everywhere. And if the motor is a Singer with the grease pots, grease it.
Shipping from IL to elsewhere using the USPS averages about $40.00 depending on where the machine is going and how much it weighs.
We just shipped a Kenmore to the US Virgin Islands that weighed 37 ± pounds. It cost right around $40.00 to ship it and that included insurance.

Joe,
Someone posted on the Board within the past several days about a part of a machine that had been left sitting in a rust remover overnight. I thought I had come up with a simple solution -- I have a ceramic-top kitchen range -- I use a cleaner/polish to clean (recommended by the manufacturer). It does an excellent job cleaning my range top. However, before trying it (NOT) I put some between my fingers and rubbed them together -- there's grit in that compound, so that DEFINITELY WOULD NOT WORK. Sorry!

There are even chrome polishes that do not contain abrasives, so those are what I'd use there.
