PS The early ones didnt have the holes then they found condensation was a problem so punched the holes in. Some have one hole then some have two.
I've been reading up on internet on repairing bakerlite, they use the radio & phone guys use fiberglass reson & mix black dye in or use boot polish to colour them. may have a go next week:cool: I've got my old caps somewere I think there up the workshop .

Thats what I like to see , A man hard at work on the Sewing machine.
I'am restoring a1929 Singer Sewing Machine at the moment for Meryll , she wants to put it just in side the entery with all her antique sewing accessories on it . I pulled the cabinet apart this morning & started sanding it down Also regluing one corner where the veneer is starting to lift . Been looking up the art of shellacing its been 35 years since I used shellac. Not sure if I should pull the frame appart for powder coating or send it off assembled . Or I may just paint it with stove paint.:cool:
Keep with the period. Should it not be a black enamel?;)
Yes I think they were baked enamel . Maybe I spray it black enamel & put some hardner in it , would be easyer & cheaper than powder coating. :cool: If I powder coat I will need to pull the whole frame apart so sand blasting doesn't get into the bearings.:mad:Quote:
