The net is seriously lacking in pictures of the 111G116 so here's my contribution:

Thanks, though I'm such a beginner right now, I wouldn't know what to do with a cutter.

Thanks Glenn, That's some good information. It came with the table and a clutch motor. I was surprised as well at the good condition of the table. The motor works but I'll probably be looking into getting a servo.

Thanks for the info, Constabulary. It's good information to know, but I'm not really concerned about the stitch length. At this point in time, it's exactly what Uwe mentioned. I bought a cheap machine to see if I can learn to fix and maintain it...and of course sew some stuff. Once I feel confident that I can take care of the needs of a used machine, I'll be upgrading! I'm actually really excited about this. I'll take some close ups and post them over the weekend.

Thanks Uwe! And here's a picture:

Sure. I'll post pictures later tonight. It doesn't look any different than the 111w155 models. It has that button on the base which I hear is used to change stitch lengths.

Hi everyone, I am an absolute beginner but I've been learning a lot from you all here in the forums. I've taken Uwe's advice (thanks Uwe) and got a good deal on a Singer 111G116 that's actually in pretty decent shape. I wanted to go through the cleaning and maintenance before I do anything else and I understand that lubricating it well is an important first step. Would anyone have a recommendation on what oil I need to buy and where to buy it? Thanks in advance!
