Have finally, finally got the Singer 15 working! It took heat (hair dryer) and lubrication (Tri-Flow) and sheer stubborn determination, but it now turns over and will sew. Well, it'll sew after I put a needle in it. And probably readjust the height of the needlebar. But the point is, it now works! So in the course of the afternoon's errands I stopped in at Pep Boys and got a tube of Universal Black touchup paint, and used it to touch up the chipped paint. Tomorrow, or perhaps Wednesday, comes the final oil cleaning and then the waxing and reassembly.
Pictures to come sometime soonish.
