Material and Equipment Sources

Here are links for some of the materials and equipment I have used during the restoration of Ms. Rusty.  I would not say unequivocally that these are the best products or best sources of these products.  However, I personally have had success with these products and/or vendors.


Source of waterslide decals - http://www.keelersales.com/servlet/Detail?no=756

These are intended for a Singer 301 (3/4 size bed) so they aren't long enough nor have enough corner decals for the bed of a 201. But, they are of the correct design and they come in a "two pack" so I'll have enough extra decals to make them fit my machine.

Evapo-Rust - http://www.evapo-rust.com/.

This wonderful stuff, can be purchased at at your local retailer or from Amazon. Quoting from their website: "A product of extensive research, EVAPO-RUST^TM rust remover is an environmentally-safe water-based product that removes rust in minutes, without scrubbing."
