This is an UNPLUGGED restoration !
Meaning no power tools were used anywhere in the restoration process !
Everything was good old manual labor :-)
Will need 20-30 days time before base be ready for packing and shipping.
As weather conditions (temperature, humidity etc) will play a role too.

The photos belong to bases restored in the past.
The actual base you'll get will have some differences due to the fact that wood grain never the same but also because of the fact that SINGER cases were hand made and produced in many factories around the world.
So no case is the same with an other one.

We can always send photos of the actual item before shipping. And if in doubt we can always cancel the sale.
Please ask if you need to as photo shooting is quite time consuming.

Restore vs Refurbish
-
What's the difference?
We know vast majority of people don’t really differentiate the two terms nowadays but there is actually a huge difference between them.
The difference between restore and refurbish is that restore is to reestablish, or bring back into existence
while refurbish is to rebuild or replenish with all new material.

restore
 English, Verb
 To reestablish, or bring back into existence.
 To restore to original (or better) working order and appearance.
To bring back to a previous condition or state.
 To give or bring back (that which has been lost or taken);
Related terms: * restoration * restorer

refurbish
 English, Verb
  To rebuild or replenish with all new material

Since many people still keep asking questions about whether those items we list are repainted, with new stickers etc, we feel the need to clarify things.
All items we list as “restored” are almost 100% originals, nothing new put on them other than oil & grease, rubber o-rings (tires), rubber / felt feet, and motor / treadle belts, depending on the model. If a part is missing or damaged and we can't repair it, we'll replace it with one from a donor machine of the same era. Never a newer or a new one.Those items are certainly ΝΟΤ repainted as many think, nor have we put new stickers / decals which would then label them as “renovated” or "refurbished". Everything was set in the factory back then.
Motor sets may have a new plug and leads but coils and internals would be vintage and serviced. Lamps will be new.
Always have in mind the time to restore an item, is many times the time needed to refurbish a same one.
And although it is much, much more time consuming, we prefer this approach which preserves the authenticity and history of an item rather than just making it eye appealing but strip it from it's history and identity.
Growing up in Athens, Greece watching the archeologists, since we were kids, painstakingly removing layer after layer of debris and foreign matter from the ancient finds in open dig sites the size of football fields using nothing more than small brushes the size of a toothbrush and small hand tools along with tons and tons of patience and sunscreen may have contributed in our later days attitude towards items of historic significance ;-) Or at least we like to think so :-))
