Singer 28k built in 1940 at the Kilbowie manufacturing facility, Clydebank, Scotland

I’ve been exploring for a doing the job vintage device for quite a few yrs, and was delighted to discover this in a regional garage sale. It was included in dust and grime having been abandoned and unloved in an attic for a extended time. It was also missing some essential elements which we have managed to resource, and still beneath the grime I could see a wonderful device waiting to be restored.

We have taken it all aside (spouse is a precision engineer), cleaned and lubricated each and every single nut and bolt, polished the metallic areas and waxed and polished the entire body and the woodwork and hey presto it now purrs and stitches flawlessly. I am certainly delighted with the outcome.
