Singers have always been marked with serial numbers ever since production began.


keep it up./.Why do Singer Sewing Machines have Serial Numbers? Maybe some positive comments from everyone on good things and what changes one might make would be more helpful than attacking? THanks for your time and Kristy. Everyone here can decide to do the same or learn from thins and make changes where they wish to do so. SO maybe she did ok after all? Last but not least she was not saying she is a professional or any such thing, was just sharing her experiences and how she did it. She did a good job, the paint is even, no runs and it was covered well. She will have to pay extra attention at all cracks, holes and crevasses or that new paint job will be eaten away quickly. I do not use stripper because I learned long ago on aluminum outboard engines and boats that it is a huge mess and many times almost impossible to clean out completely. I personally sand and sandblast my machines and then boil in a automotive engine block solution removing any residues and flushes all of the grit from sandblasting (if it was) materials out. Yes you have to be careful of the oil holes yes this is true. If you are careful and flush the stuff out and off when finished she caused no harm at all. While I personally strip machines completely down removing all the guts before I strip and paint them, in this case many people use stripper to do the job. Depending on why it was frozen, her way of doing this very well may have brought it back to full life if she continues later with the correct lubes and oils. no way sewing oil is as good for this purpose. she did not say use 3 in 1 oil to lobe the machine normally, she used it to break free stuck parts and there is NOTHING wrong with that.
