Brother model 151 vintage sewing machine

[@vwent51]

I have this machine. I received it for Christmas when I was 16. I am now 72😂. The top door is for decorative cams. The best sewing machine I have ever owned!

Why thank you for your comment I'm no expert by any means but I tried my best

Don't run the machine without fabric under the foot. The feed teeth will eat into the bare chromium metal on the underside of the foot.

[@rickdrysdale892]

I was going to say that. This guy has no idea what he's doing.

You’ve made it gleam! 😃 Well done. I’d like to know what you used to bring it up so clean.

[@bluemantom77]

Regular non-abrasive cleaner and a soft pad

I just recently bought a vintage Brother sewing machine at a thrift store for $18. I couldn't believe it was so cheap. It was dirty and needed a belt, but turning the handwheel it works. I can't wait to use it.

[@bluemantom77]

this was free

terri e that's a good find. I'm hoping to find one soon. I just bought a Valiant 920 with cabinet from a dealer but it wasn't cheap. Had to take it back to check motor out. It was sparking & smoking. Really sad because it's is in good condition, runs so smooth. I will have it fixed. I played with it for 30 minutes before noticing a problem. But fell in love with it the minute I sewed my first stitch.
