Re-spray and Head Assembly

I have now applied the final coat of paint to the singer arm and the time has come to star work on the head.

This is where lots of decent pictures pay off! I like to take pictures of all the parts whilst they are still attached and as shown below the parts layed out as this helps with accounting for them.

Below is is the head with one undercoat (a long way to go!)

It's important to remember that all of the components are machined so you have to be careful when cleaning them as you don't want to generate wear yourself. I find this part of a restoration the most enjoyable as it's guts of the machine. I will cover the assembly of the head after cleaning in more detail on the next post.
