I just repair an old singer 201 for a friend. Complete rewire and disassembled. No Japanning done to it. The story of this one was left in a garage for about 20 years. He told me it was locked up. I look at the internals, and it did have SEVERAL hornet nests? or some kind of big insects. I will send pictures when I go through my iPhone. This repair was free of charge to my dear friend because I knew he purchased it for his mother when He returned from Korea. I knew that the machine has always been in the family and was a proud working machine. Regarding the video link. I pick it at random but later realized what a beauty of a machine that special edition model was. What a nice finish. I have seen some but not as nice as that particular one. I believe the 15-91 are a great home machine for very heavy use and leather. They are build like a tank. You can pick up one in offer up for under 100 dollars. Personally use UV Polyester Outdoor V92 (Tex 90) tread with them, and they work like a dream. Excellent for outdoor projects such as bbq/motorcycle and other type of outdoor covers. My current goal is to find a nice fabric to create covers for my bikes. I have friends who enjoy them as Christmas gifts. But first I am planing to pimp up my garage floor to host the new dressers for my little girls.
