1890 Singer 12K Fiddle Base
Latest temptation is this appealing 12K. New to me but looks good? The case looks good too. I collect it tomorrow, 12th December, & hope it is as good as it looks. Sellers pics above. Mine below. 13/12/21 Gave it a closer look today. Quick clean, lubrication, threaded up, sewed very well. The decals are 98%, the brightwork needs a clean. The black paint is very nice with just some minor chips on the front middle edge. The spoon bobbin thread guide is missing here, as well as its spring. Meanwhile it just needs a thread feed from above to work? I hope so. Would love to get this working: ) A video of its clever action is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLezdpNTFGs It's in need of some attention to the wood finish & brightwork, that's all. Hopefully: ) Looks very appealing to me & it sews so well, as well... Small adjustment to upper tension & that was all. Next is needles!? 12 x 1 if you can find/afford them, or look for the nearest modern indus
