How to remove the rivets from the medallion. 1 working from outside of the machine only. 2 using a center punch tap a small divot into the top of the head. 3 using a small drill bit, drill a hole through the head of the rivet, It should come off leaving the shaft of the rivet still in the machine. 4 with both heads removed, gently pry off the medallion. 5 with a punch and working from the outside of the machine tap the rivet shaft out of the hole and into the machine body, they will fall out with some shaking. 6 there is no need to do anything from inside of the machine! 7 please note the metal of the medallion is soft and easy to damage, work slow, you wont need much force. 8 when painted, either glue (like you did before) or replace the rivets with new ones (found online) type of head (rounded), diameter of shaft and shaft length and type of metal (copper). 9 insert new rivet through medallion, then into the machine, then, inside of the machine, tap the part that comes through the casting over with a big flat head screwdriver and small hammer until tight. I'm an ex-Air Force sheet metal mechanic and did this all the time (except we drove the rivet with a rivet gun rather than bend the shaft over! hope this helps!
@@SewingMachineRehab Mcmaster-Carr copper rivets via duck duck go copper rivets just need the diameter and length to order the right type (rounded head).
She's looking great! Violets, sunflowers, ivy and sweet peas could be pretty choices later down the road. Thank you for bringing us along for the journey!💖
Beautiful! Maybe if you hit the area behind the medallion with an air gun (like you use to blow up a tire) or some canned air after you dip it to blow out any crud. Don't forget eye protection.
I would LOVE! to see this machine running. I have a 1917 Western Electric (swing away motor) that I converted to a hand crank even though the motor is great and Hubcap rewired everything so it was safe. I use it in my RV when we are boondocking and I dont want to run a machine off the solor. I subscribed just for the fact that I am hoping to see it in action lol.
I wonder if you took an oiler type bottle full of something like rubbing alcohol and tried to power flush behind the medallion if that would get some of that gunk out before painting?
So i was wondering if the singer badge is friction fit. If it is maybe you heated the body pretty hot, then applied cold in a pin point way where the pins are, while having somethIng to pull the badge should it come free. I know they had anti-reuse design. They might have been super-diabolical and threaded the holes even though it's a friction fit.also tapping using a flat faced narrow punch as an intermediate if you can get a straight shot.
I actually make my own decals. In a way. What I do is I have ordered a pack of water slide decal paper from Amazon. They sell it in packs of clear and white. Then I go to freepiks.com and pick some beautiful images for free. Download those and arrange them on a canva.com A4 sheet. This is also free. And then I take my water slide decal papers made for laser printers, a thumb drive with my documents I made on canva.com, and go to my local library where they have a really nice color laser printer, and pay them a dollar a sheet to print my decals. This way I can get them a lot faster than having someone else do it, a lot cheaper, and I can customize them the way I want.
You should be able to reach in from the bottom and straighten the pins if they are bent. You might be able to push them out from the inside using a screwdriver. Or use your razor to pop them off from the front. If none of that works, use the screwdriver from the inside and give a sharp tap on the screwdriver that is up against the pin essentially shearing it off. The badge should now come off. If not, drill the pins out. To put back on, you should be able to use a brass rivet depending on the diameter of the pin. If there’s enough left of the original pin, I would use E6000. Where do you get the water slide decals?
That is my father ☺️ he recently recorded a longer version of that song for me, and I will be putting a video out in the next week with the extended version if you're interested.
Excellent 👍
Beautiful restoration
Love it good job
Beautiful!❤
How to remove the rivets from the medallion.
1 working from outside of the machine only.
2 using a center punch tap a small divot into the top of the head.
3 using a small drill bit, drill a hole through the head of the rivet, It should come off leaving the shaft of the rivet still in the machine.
4 with both heads removed, gently pry off the medallion.
5 with a punch and working from the outside of the machine tap the rivet shaft out of the hole and into the machine body, they will fall out with some shaking.
6 there is no need to do anything from inside of the machine!
7 please note the metal of the medallion is soft and easy to damage, work slow, you wont need much force.
8 when painted, either glue (like you did before) or replace the rivets with new ones (found online) type of head (rounded), diameter of shaft and shaft length and type of metal (copper).
9 insert new rivet through medallion, then into the machine, then, inside of the machine, tap the part that comes through the casting over with a big flat head screwdriver and small hammer until tight.

Thank you!!!!! I think I can make this work! Really appreciate it 😊😊
Could you share a link to the rivets that may work? Thanks for the helpful tip!

Would you mind telling us where you got the decals? Thanks

Thanks;!!!
I make my own decals with waterslide decal paper and the good color printer at the local library 😊
ma'am, who is the sewing machine singer?
That is my father ☺️ he recently recorded a longer version of that song for me, and I will be putting a video out in the next week with the extended version if you're interested.
@@prometheansewingmachines Oh yes, that will be very nice and lovely. 🤗 Many thanks.
@@prometheansewingmachines Btw, almost same vibes like the oldie America - Lonely People (1975)
A rat on acid lol. A first I didn't like all the flowers at the end I did. x
The flowers grow on you 🤣🤣
