I picked up a Singer 201-2 sewing machine at the thrift store the other day.
Everything works, even the light.
I'm not mechanical, but with a manual I can bang my head on the engine block long enough and fix my car.
I've found manuals online, but they aren't really directed at care and maintance of a 64 year old machine.
If I could find something detailing care I'd do it myself.
So i thought I'd ask about recommendations for sewing machine maintance shops in Baton Rouge and see if I can get a quote for checking it over and cleaning it up.
-I originally bought it simply because I knew it was worth more than the $30 I gave, and knew I could turn a dollar.
However since this model is considered pretty much the best sewing machine... Particularely for sewing heavy canvas, webbing, and other heavy material.... I'm interested in keeping it for personal use.
