I watched your series yesterday in it's entirety as I disassembled my early model 99. Thank you for all the tips and suggestions. I really appreciate that you say "this is how I do it" , but implying other methods may work and may not be wrong. Looking forward to the reassembly videos (if i don't just assemble in reverse). Thank you for taking the time to do these.

Hi! Thank you for following along! It really is a fun project to tackle on your own so hats off to you for taking the challenge! The reassembly videos are still in the works, I will get them done soon! (I hope! It’s really busy here!) The 99’s are great little machines, you are really going to appreciate yours when you are all finished!

These black Singers have a shellac clear coat over top the Japan black to protect the decals. Shellac is totally different from lacquer.

Yes, I know that I sometimes use the words interchangeably and I need to work on that because they really are two different things. Either way, the finish can be fiddly to deal with and hopefully the take away is that we need to be careful with what chemicals we allow to touch it. Thank you for clarifying for me!

Hi Terie! Only a few were made in aluminum, pre-war I believe. I am fortunate to have a customer who donated this one for the series. Then it will go back home!

I used ONLY sewing oil on my gifted 15-91 that I hadn’t touched for 7 years and was dusty… and thought it was taking off only that dust and what looked like nicotine… then I thought… hmmm…. So I read a bit, got out my black light… and realised I’ve stripped half the shellac cos half the machine is purple where I “cleaned” and the other half still green…. Dang it! Got so mad I’ve put it back on the shelf for another day….
@SewingMachineRehab
@SewingMachineRehab 7 дней назад
Aw, you would be surprised how many people think the same thing, that they are removing nicotine. But the old shellac gets a patina sort of like copper does. It yellows with time. How odd that just oil took it off. It may have just been too compromised already. Who knows how but it happens! I hope you are able to get it to a point you are happy with it!

My favourite cream polish for chrome parts is Autosol, made in Germany. After polishing, it leaves a microscopic invisible coating which helps prevent further tarnishing.great on faceplates!

If you haven’t tried Gojo ( non pumice) cream hand cleaner,you should give it a try. I have restored close to 100 machines of all types and find it superior to SMO and kerosene. I have never had a bad reaction with shellac or painted finishes yet. It is safe for your skin, if you use cotton make up remover pads for cleaning. The lanolin in it will also help soften rubber parts.

Hi again! I have heard this before but haven’t given it a go yet. Good to hear you have had so much success with it. How do you keep it out of all the oil ports so it doesn’t get down in the bushings? That is my only concern. I am guessing that you just have to be very careful…thanks for sharing all your tips!
@theunknownchef5825
@theunknownchef5825 2 месяца назад
Great tip to use the ultrasonic! To thoroughly dry parts, especially any unplated parts which can flash rust, try using a hair dryer. Have you tried SimplyGreen HP version?(purple colour), safe to use on aluminum and all rubber parts. Great video!
@SewingMachineRehab
@SewingMachineRehab Месяц назад
Hi! Yes, a hairdryer is a great tool for drying them. I haven’t tried the simply green product yet, maybe I will look for it the next time I am out and about.

@@SewingMachineRehab Yesterday, I tried out brushing a coat kerosene on a nasty frozen Toyota Z800 Japanese Sewing Machine. You are right, that disgusting smell has driven me nut and sick. Enclosed it with plastic container and leave it aside 24 hours. And today I steam bath the the machine using German Karcher Steamer. It worked wonderfully, the reverse push button and the stitch length knobs stuck problem was resolved and it started to function properly. Hooray !!!! 😂🤩

After as much as possible I like to spray WD 40 on areas of parts that have nooks and crannies that can hold water. the WD actually stands for "Water Displacement".

I haven't ever tried that method. I have also heard that you can dip the part in alcohol when done so that everything will dry faster. Haven't tried that yet either. Thanks for the tip!
