More info:
I needed to take all measurements from old wood, it took me so much time figuring out correct old measurements, I was amazed by how precise measurements you need to correctly design the wood work...
I can imagine the amount of engineering done by original Singer company when they first designed this sewing machine...
So wood work took the most of time, metal work was easy as just removing old paint and rust and then repainting it with: paint base + gold color + varnish
Wood work needed most of the time, I used polish bought from Lidl last year and used Ronseal clear gloss varnish to finish the job...
All wood skearting is from B&Q and does not cost a lot... maybe about 20 euros...
All parts move correctly in this sewing machine, i still did not try it, it might need some little calibration in worst case, but i do not have any doubt it will sew more and more now...
I will try it soon and update you JumbleTowners :)
Best Regards;
Keith
