Is it me or it doesn’t look like the same machine from the one that it was used paint thinner which definitely disolved the shellac and the last one that now has decals that weren’t there before? Or did I miss something and and it was repainted and new decals were installed? If you repaint what did you use because it looks amazing

Thank you Henry. I’m got interested in sewing machines last year to learn to sew with intentions to do leather work and upholstery work too . Thx for sharing your experience. ❤❤

Always best to avoid a teardown. Too many people take these apart to clean them when there is no need and you risk disturbing factory setting and tolerances. They will look just as good and likely operate better the way you did it. Nice job! Looks like new!

I see domestic machines labeled as industrial often as well , the reason is , most people dont realize we used to make things of of quality materials not plastic crap and they dont realize vintage machines were made to take a beating and this is why they made them so well , now with that said , any cast iron or aluminum singer made pre 70s could be considered industrial compared against any domestic machine made today , i dont get why you would go buy a new plastic sewing machine for hundreds, when you could buy a vintage for way less and have a way better machine , i own 9 machines now , most are singers but also have a 1951 Necchi BU i rescued from going to scrap , payed 0 for it and its one of my fovorite machines . There is only one problem with vintage machines .....once you buy oneyou want them all ...lol

Andy Tube and Vintage Sewing Machine Garage have lots of great videos on restoring VSMs

Boy you knocked out of the park.

I picked up one just like it the other day , lady was asking $30 I handed her 2 20s in a cherry Queen Anne table had to rewire a few things but it's just like that it's a 1950 Canadian model and it sews like crazy ! .53 amp motor, my gold is 98% I just sent her a video of it so I'm really fast and I don't know if she's too happy but I am.

Great job thanks for sharing

Can you please show how to wind the bobbin in a Singer 66?

Wow it looks amazing! Thanks for sharing!

May I ask what you used to polish after you cleaned it with paint thinner. Thank you.

Le falta luz al video no se aprecia la parte baja de la máquina

Great job! It cleaned up very nicely. Your wife will enjoy that.

It’s a most beautiful I’ve seen!

Cuál es ese líquido echarle limpiar la máquina

For future reference, if you ever rehab another one, get some gojo Hand cleaner and a paint brush. Coat the whole thing and the dirt will melt right off. The just rub down and polish with carnuba and it will shine like new. Yours looks beautiful, just a tip to save you some effort next time.

What did you polish it with?

Since you recorded this 2 years ago, which I just read, you must have solved your tension problem. What did you do to resolve the issue? Thank you.

You did a great job. I’d like to see the final product with the cabinet. I’m not sure what you are asking about the upper tension dial, but I assume you took it apart already and then checked to see if the tension numbers correspond to the normal tension ranges. If the tension of the upper thread is not loosening with the presser foot lifter being raised, the central pin in the tension might be stuck with goo or grim. By disassembling the tension control, the center rod could be checked and cleaned, allowing it to release the upper tension when the presser foot is lifted. I’m not an expert, at all. I’m learning just like you. Good luck with a wonderful gift for your wife.

I just watched this man do a tension spring replacement so maybe that's something that will help you. By now you've probably figured it out but, just passing it on. Thanks for showing how you do your great cleaning job. I have been a little timid to get into mine but, your video helped. Good video. Hope you got it going and your wife is enjoying it. ua-cam.com/video/y8QzddoGp6o/v-deo.html

Looks great.What did u polish it with?

It looks good after that short cleaning. Did the paint thinner end up damaging the paint? I think many people use the term "Industrial" to define a machine that can handle heavy weight thread and sew leather goods and multiple layers of denim, and not a machine that can sew 24/7.

Thanks for sharing this video. I think I'm ready to take on my 66, 201, and 15 now.

Beautiful job! Your wife is a lucky lady!

I'm surprised paint thinner didn't mess with the paint and decals.

if you haven't figured out yet, the tension spring itself may need replacing. but being that it is a year later you probably found out the reason and fixed this bad gorgeous momma.

Disassemble the tension wheel assembly. Inside the main shaft there should be a pin roughly 1/16" in diameter and less than an inch long. Without this pin the 2 discs will not open or close when you operate the foot.

The tension adjuster you mention does not open up- you may have put the spring on backwards. Google it and look at images for someone describing how to assemble this component. Also the ticking- after making sure everything is tightened up, check the timing. I can't quite think exactly how it's done, as I haven't had to do it, but there are a few videos on UA-cam about that, and you don't have to have the exact model to learn the process. If you still need help, post a detailed video and how she sews would tell you/us so we can comment and try to help. Thanks!!

Hi Mr. Johnson. That's nice work you did!!! I just had a Singer 66 with crinkle finish given to me. Mine needs all new wiring. I see yours doesn't have wires. Are you in the process of rewiring it? If so, it would be great to see a demonstration on that, or some tips. I live in Maryland as well. I love to fix things. I find repair shops to be very scarce, my opinion. I have found a really good one, Tedco Industries on Hollins Ferry Rd. (I think that's the spelling) I do a lot of sewing and upholstery, I get supplies there. They sell commercial machines and repair all. (I haven't had to do that, I do my own) thank you for your most helpful video. Maria

Nice work, and how she sew :D?
