An Old Singer 128-13 Sewing Machine in Combination Table

My first antique sewing machine renewal project.
Back of case - Before
 Case Front - Before
 Case Right Side - Before
 Case Left Side - Before

And then the machine table:  Before -

After



This little machine is the 3/4 size machine with electric and the light. The Singer 128 Model is the electric and more 'new-fangled' version of the Singer 28. It has a vibrating shuttle in it instead of a regular bobbin that most of us are used to sewing with. I don't want to plug it in until I get the wires covered that run from the machine to the little covered box on the side. The plug that goes into the machine and plugs into the wall is in pristine condition. So after this machine is cleaned up and the wood is repaired and a solid piece again, I'll plug her in and see if the light works or if the motor still works. 

A little background checking for this machine were found with these links:
