Hi
Sorry I seem to have a lot to say, my third topic, I guess I am a bit like a BUS
?
I picked up one of my machines and on the floor was dust powdered wood
The base was off a 1950 singer and paper covered, under the paper was like a maze of tracks?
It was stored in a shed before it was given to me, the Singer 185K was in good condition.

Woodworm in one of my bases was solved using this method, it just fitted diagonally when I took out the shelfs I left it a few hours at 70''C (web link below says kill them with 50'C)

For bigger items people have put them in the back of a car on a hot day. or in the garden in a black bag to stop the sunlight damaging the finish.
The base for my machine had to be glued back together and re finished since the heat will / may damage Hyde glue and Shellac varnish finish
Always makes me think of
?
I have a WW9 and a WW8 UK version different hand wheel configuration. Across the base this machine was warped because of oil impregnation?
all the best
John
