Oh lucky you , you must have been very good this year , come watch what i got for Christmas , i will be posting the video at midnight Christmas eve, thanks for watching ...
That metal plate on the one bent wood is a fix done in the past due to carrying it by the handle. That wood gets brittle over time as it dries out. I hope you get a coffin top lid for your machine. Those are the ones I like. I hope to get the slide out Singer 12 one soon. I have the singer 12 base but like your 28, no top.
Actually the metal plate is not a repair its original, the full size cases came this way because the machines wiegh more but they didn't use thicker wood so they added this plate , ive seen it on more then just the case i own , also the paint seems to match that era , you may be used to the 3/4 case im thinking but most 15 -91 i see have the plate , as for a coffin case ive never seen just a top for sale but if i dk if will be like winning the lotto lol , Singer 12 ? Im gojng to have to look thaf up , never seen one yet thanks now i got something to check out 👍
@@4486xxdawson The Singer 12 one is the first photo you showed. My full size bentwood case has no plate. I can send pictures and show original brochures. I have original manuals from 1859 and up, earlier than the Smithsonian Singer letter A ( Family transverse machine)
I wish someone had warned me about not using the handle to carry these machines! The catch on a different case gave way and the impact versus stone floor bent the needle bar! I shall try to fix it it but I was so upset I've not looked at it for years. Wish me luck.
What machine has the bent needle bar ? I may have one i can ship to ya to fix it , im thinking of starting a vintage singer scrap yard , i find machines real cheep and some are worth saving but some i plan to part out , im going to do a video on this soon but maybe i can help ya fix your machine ...i once got a machine that had a broken bed , same thing happened to the old owner , case latch gave and machine hit the ground hard enough to break the corner of the bed right off , ive never seen a singer broken like that ever , so that was my first parts machine .....good luck and just let me know if i can help , thanks for watching and commenting i appreciated it

Yes thats the same as i tell people, i dont even like carrying my featherwieght by the handle , always feel the machine is safer carried by bottom , i value my toes lol ....thanks for watching

You can run the old Singers with a foot pedal if you haven't got the knee lever, as long as the plug fits! 👍
Thank you so much for the information!

The handle is only for removing the lid. If you look under the bottom, there should be a scalloped out scetion on both ends to lift the whole machine.
