We gave the solder a try…no go. We got our neighbor to try and weld drill it to bar.. Worked great for a third of way before weld gave way.. Taking to welder tomorrow Fingers crossed DF173747-C3EF-4F53-B2CA-1E8D7EF649F3.jpeg EBF39CD8-0492-4506-9B54-E2C852B74ED0.jpeg 8E95E437-C863-4B16-A6D3-3E7FFD2FE...

Thank you Brian.
Now you have us curious.
Will have a test try…we are just soaking to lubricate wires at moment.
Hot water and then white vinegar with salt…trying to get some movement..

Thank you teake & Brian
Wires are jammed & stuck both ends.
No luck so far.
Every time we try to grab just snaps.
As we don’t weld will just take it slow.
There further down than it looks.

Thank you Brian. After another google looks like there is a compression fitting stoping wire.. Google information.. The compression fitting, when tight should prevent the tube from rotating with the steering wheel 22561626-055F-4A9E-A980-09DC19D56520.png E499C98B-27F4-4750-A94F-FAE489E4AACE.png Look...

Thank you Brian for kind words.
If we had read about this before we also would have purchased modern wire.
We just thought in keeping with originality..

Maybe our post will help future singer restorers..

We wernt happy with wire stripper fraying new braided harness.. Not keen on spending more so we rigged up our version of thermal wire stripper. Very happy with results 89EAF2D0-3AC0-473F-B366-AADD358B2DA4.jpeg 0D784B74-1AB0-4F1F-A22F-EAAF334E64B8.jpeg 5B29C760-D3DF-4C89-9562-6E10789191A6.jpeg 4E563D...

Thank you Brian.. Yes never enough pictures on web for singers. We love the challenge. We don’t want to think gearbox yet..nasty stuff..
