Sewing Machine Resto SOLD!


I lucked across a vintage Sew Master Sewing machine on trash day and will tackle a restoration on this antique. Really neat to look at....loads of chrome! The machine works but needs to be cleaned to operate at 100%. I am not going to paint it as I like the patina but I am going to polish all the chrome work and construct a new base for it. The base was completely deteriorated and over half was already missing when found! Neat find! I have already done some research on restoring sewing machines. Check out this link...
