I got this one a few months ago for the bench, but the machine head was so good that I cleaned and serviced it, replaced the electrical cords for the light (they were completely perished as usual) and tried her out. Very smooth, and precise, and it's now my favourite machine. It has the original Singer home industrial universal motor, from which I removed the capacitor (it's just a matter of time that these will give you trouble) and I also replaced the motor wiring. Capacitors can be totally removed without causing any noticeable difference, unless you listen to AM radio when sewing.

| Replace any perished wire. Capacitor is the box top-left |

| Live wires are at the yellow connector. That one has no insulation |

| After the spruce up, she's looking great |
