Singer Restoration Saturday - Dollie Complete

After all the excitement of the trip to Green Bay, I finally finished the restoration of my great-grandmother's Model 99K and case (nicknamed "Dollie" after her), and a little table to display it on.


Dollie ready to go
The crocheted runner that Dollie is resting on was made by my grandmother (Dollie's daughter). It makes a nice touch, in addition to protecting the finish on the table.


Closed up for storage
Everything packs up neatly for storage or transport. The wires for power and the foot control coil up nicely and stow in the space below the arm.


Top removed

Power Cord and Foot Control unpacked
The two wires run from the motor (on the back of the throat, just peeking out from behind) to the right and down to plug into the wall and set up where the user's foot would be.


Plugged in and Foot Control in place 
On to the next project!
