Mike516 Report post Posted September 8, 2013 I was at an estate sale and found a Singer 96-10. I couldn't help myself and I bought it. Not that I have room in my shop for another sewing machine, but it was failry cheap. It's supposed to handle medium to heavy fabrics whereas my 95-10 is for light to medium. My questions are: It has a lot of grease in the head. I thought you only used oil in the head. Is this normal? It has a heavy coat of black paint on it with drip marks and no decals. Could this be a repaint, and if so, what's the best way to remove it and repaint it? Does anyone know where I might find an adjuster's manual for it? I have a users manual, but I can't seem to find an adjuster's manual to assist me in taking it apart and refurbishing it. We found a great one for our 201 we're working on now, but there doesn't seem to be anything for the industrial machines. Thanks for any help. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike516 Report post Posted September 15, 2013 I never got an answer on this. Mainly I was just wondering if I need to remove the grease from inside the head and oil it. Sorry if this is a noob question but I don't want to ruin it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
