Singer sewing machine

I bought a sewing machine in April as a reward for paying off all my credit card debt. It arrived today, and although it has a bit more damage than I thought, it still looks pretty good. I'd like to restore the cabinet, but that doesn't seem like something I want to do in my living room; I'll have to figure out a time I could work in my parents' garage. I might want to work on the sewing machine in there too. All the parts move, so it may not need anything major done. I'm not quite sure what I want to do with it yet, so I guess we'll see. I wish I had a local sewing friend who could look at it for me.

Originally, I was planning to buy a hand crank machine, but I thought hand cranking would be tiring. When I saw this Singer in a parlor cabinet, I just had to make an offer. I'm really excited about it, and when it arrived, I was even more excited to find the little Singer oil can in the drawer.

I'll post pictures of the machine and cabinet soon. We still haven't figured out a good place to put it. My original plan was to put it in the bedroom, but I really want it in the living room on display. But it also has to be a place where I can use it, so we'll see what happens.
