My dear wife bought me another project :
With the reflector finished, my wife thought it was a good time to get me to restore something for her. Long story short, she bought a 65 year old sewing machine in a non-working condition for $30.
With a bad head cold
I set to work on it this morning and just finished it. The motor brushes needed to be refreshed, all the wiring replaced, all metal surfaces cleaned and polished, woodwork was covered in paint droplets and other carp. Anyway a few hours later her $30 investment was tested and actually runs as smooth as a sewing machine and sews quite well
( Honestly, I would rather be building telescopes ....... but don't tell Jennifer )
Sorry, forgot to take the "before" pics, but here it is: 1951 Century Edition Singer 99K.13 Electric with knee actuator.
