I watched your series yesterday in it's entirety as I disassembled my early model 99. Thank you for all the tips and suggestions. I really appreciate that you say "this is how I do it" , but implying other methods may work and may not be wrong. Looking forward to the reassembly videos (if i don't just assemble in reverse). Thank you for taking the time to do these.

Thank you for all the detail in this video, as well as the less investment options. The links are so helpful. Thank you😊

My favourite cream polish for chrome parts is Autosol, made in Germany. After polishing, it leaves a microscopic invisible coating which helps prevent further tarnishing.great on faceplates!

Thanks for this tips. I just bought singer 15-91. I’m waiting for the singer oil that I order so I can clean my sewing machine.

Excellent video :) I learn so much with you and its very easy to follow what you teach. Thank you.

If you haven’t tried Gojo ( non pumice) cream hand cleaner,you should give it a try. I have restored close to 100 machines of all types and find it superior to SMO and kerosene. I have never had a bad reaction with shellac or painted finishes yet. It is safe for your skin, if you use cotton make up remover pads for cleaning. The lanolin in it will also help soften rubber parts.

Great tip to use the ultrasonic! To thoroughly dry parts, especially any unplated parts which can flash rust, try using a hair dryer. Have you tried SimplyGreen HP version?(purple colour), safe to use on aluminum and all rubber parts. Great video!

A fine video. Thank you.

Thank you so much!

These black Singers have a shellac clear coat over top the Japan black to protect the decals. Shellac is totally different from lacquer.

Love watching you work & making everything shine. I'm like you...I like the 'detail' work & how it makes it look nicer. Thanks for sharing!

It's all in the details! Have to admit, it's pretty therapeutic cleaning up all the parts! :)

Great detail work! There is something zen about a clean machine. 😊

Hi Terie! Only a few were made in aluminum, pre-war I believe. I am fortunate to have a customer who donated this one for the series. Then it will go back home!

Thanks, impressive work. I will try out Kerosene.

@@SewingMachineRehab Yesterday, I tried out brushing a coat kerosene on a nasty frozen Toyota Z800 Japanese Sewing Machine. You are right, that disgusting smell has driven me nut and sick. Enclosed it with plastic container and leave it aside 24 hours. And today I steam bath the the machine using German Karcher Steamer. It worked wonderfully, the reverse push button and the stitch length knobs stuck problem was resolved and it started to function properly. Hooray !!!! 😂🤩

After as much as possible I like to spray WD 40 on areas of parts that have nooks and crannies that can hold water. the WD actually stands for "Water Displacement".

I haven't ever tried that method. I have also heard that you can dip the part in alcohol when done so that everything will dry faster. Haven't tried that yet either. Thanks for the tip!

I don’t see the Dremmel attachments link.
