I love it when there's mystery involved!!!!🕵

Another fun machine for us to watch you do your magic.

It looks like it was a well loved machine

Yes, I think it was

What a great machine! Can't wait to see her full transformation. You do great work & you're oh so patient!!!

Wow! Marie, you have some interesting machines! I recently got a W&W D9, but haven't had a chance to get her on the bench just yet. Thanks for sharing this! Looking forward to the rest of the project. Liz's grandfather was a machinist at W&W and stayed on after the purchase by Singer.

I saw your D9! They are so cool. Let me know if you find a stash of bobbins 😁😉 she's a bit crusty!

I can just hear Bob commenting on the amount of Shmoo in that machine.😁😁😁

Thanks for sharing your methods! I have a few machines that I need to deep clean. I would love to learn more of the products you are using.

Hi! Mostly some good tools, penetrating oil, and gojo cleaner... And lots of papertowels and nitrile gloves 😊

Marie check your emails .. i sent you a few .. be sure they didnt' go into spam

Found this very helpful and interesting Marie. Thanks for showing the breakdown. I am having some fun painting up a machine, but I do not have a tank or even a decent workspace. Yet, you inspire me to try. Have a good day. (Oh, I never heard of a 115.)

Have fun! I hope it goes well 😊

Hi Marie, love that machine I own a few. These machine need a L style bobbin. And a 20u bobbin case or your original case will accept the L style bobbin. The threaded hole in the back of the machine was what held the old style hand crank. Thanks Mike.

Yes. Don’t feel defeated on the hook set screws. I messed with it for about an hour. Easer to remove hook shaft with the hook attached. Nothing in my way for a decent scrubbing. Hook attached to the shaft makes a great holder will cleaning. Thanks Mike

you're grandmother was a great lady miss her

Wow for a minute I thought I may have misidentified my grandmothers machine but no, mine is a 15 from the early 1930s. On the outside they look identical same face plate same decals. Love watching your process of transformation.

The singer 115 is a one to one. One revaluation, one stitch.

It seems to have acquired quite an appetite for Chapman bits - it's snacking on the like potato chips! I am sure by the time you're finished with it, though, it will settle down to a more sensible diet of grease and oil with the occasional needle sometimes to satisfy its need for 'trace metals and minerals'. :-)

I got my new order of Chapman bits in now so I'm loaded up. One way or another we'll get it done 😁

My problem is the tiny little shuttle/hook screws. I stripped one, drilled the head off, now the body is stuck in the back half. I got it apart but will have to find some very tiny little drill bits to drill it out. I don't know where I'm going to find some replacement screws 🥴 Edit: I can't get my presser bar dislodged from the arm for the life of me. It's been sitting in penetrating for two days now. My stitch length fork just popped right out before I could get the feed dog bar out. Looks like that big screw on the back is clipped in, I don't want to mess with that. I don't understand how to get the clamped arm/fork out 🤔 it doesn't look like it can be removed...

Love the fancy looking face plate, but wasn’t expecting to see duct tape on the inside 😳

❤ what you do with the machines you are amazing remembering where everything goes also where do you find all the information on them. I tried google and no luck. I posted the question on your Facebook hoping somebody or you can help me. Thank you😊

Hi Rosie, which machine are you trying to find info on?

I also have a 115 treadle in the queue! Thank you for the video, you have a nice mello easy going style of presentation. I like it. By the way, those bobbin cases are a rarity and expensive to replace. I understand that there is a modification that can be done to a modern common 20U bobbin case, do you have any info or video on that? Thanks again.

I'm going to have to look it up! Thanks 👍

Great video! Anyone know where i can find a rotary hook? Im rebuilding a 115 and its missing the hook. They seem very tough to find.

Hi Marie, what paint brands and types do you recommend for repainting an old machine? Also, what do you use for topcoats?

@prometheansewingmachines

I like to use Rust-Oleum enamels on my machines. In general on an iron machine I use a filler primer as a base over bare metal, and then for a clear coat I have been using diamond coat in the spray can, but right now I am experimenting with a couple other clear coats. Diamond coat does give an amazing finish though.

I don't know how you can work with rubber gloves on I was mechanic for almost forty years I can't stand anything on my hand so I can feel. Though the material going through the hand sweat too much with the rubber gloves on
