Members Brooksie Posted January 11, 2021 Members Report Posted January 11, 2021 Hello folks, I have my first machine ever a Singer 7-34 with small feet that I want to clean and sell. It was sold to me dipped and stripped of paint. Over the past 20 years it has developed rust, even after applications of wax. My question is. Can I dip the whole machine in an electrolysis bath to clean? Should I remove the hook first. Any input would be welcomed. It runs well and smooth, but I would like it show nicely for the next set of hand to use. cheers and thanks, James Quote

Members CastleLeatherWorks Posted January 12, 2021 Members Report Posted January 12, 2021 are you planning on taking it all the way apart to clean the internals as well? if you are going to dip it i would fully disassemble. looks like its just surface rust on the machine case.. should be able to clean that up and make it look real nice. Post some pics when its finished !! Quote
