Alcohol, drip it on over a cookie sheet, rotate the parts to work in, then lube

Jackpot, Mario :D

It looks like a model 15 clone, check the motor amp, it is probably stronger than a Singer about .85 amp?

It will clean up well and should run very smoothly after

The Juki is a good machine and would be nice to have if it is CHEAP.

Not sure in Denmark if 3 phase power is available everywhere, but it could be re-powered with a different motor (servo type)...

With the top, and end, open on the White put it to zigzag, remove the needle, and slowly run the machine, you will see what parts move left to right, find those pivots and use alcohol as a solvent...

I would keep both, but then I already have 14 home machines and 1 commercial
Yes I have a problem :laugh:

Do I see custom hammock flags in your future?

Looks good, it is always fascinating to watch those run

Don't scrap the Kenmore :scared: Depending on what it is, some of the remaining parts are kind of hard to find.
Just set it aside, sooner or later you may run across the missing parts, or be able to...

I have been accumulating again :scared: :lol: The week before I went to Linville Gorge I found 3 machines.
2 were free, and one I paid $5.00 for. All need freeing up and cleaning which I will get...

Another obsession ran amok :scared: :lol:

Some nice machines there though

2 great sources of Necchi Info there, Thanks for posting those

Nice one, another obsession has started I see :lol:

Sometimes the CL adds that don't put a lot of info can be gold mines due to the seller not knowing what they have.

I finished the clean up...

Another beautiful find

When I opened the drawer and saw all of the stuff I figured the same



That for sure was big money in those days



There are a bunch of needles used for making socks also I think

The other day when Opie was shopping for a new machine VictoriaGuy found a Necchi near Detroit.
When Opie did not bite on it, I sent the guy a message and since I was in the area Saturday stopped...

Model 15 clone for sure
Usually these have a more powerful motor than a Singer

Some research info

Its only a problem if you are trying to quit :lol:

We can always serve as an example, maybe not a good one, but an example :laugh:

It is a real joy to use to



It is a tossup between the 158 and the clone, the clone is faster, but does bump a bit, both are real smooth at start.

Well I have been accumulating again

A White model 77
This was my Mother in Laws, during clean up the wrinkle paint came off so I stripped it and waxed the metal.
Has a bunch of attachments and...

Man there are a lot of patterns for sure
The squire boot ones were the one that caught my eye also

A full 29-4 bobbin will sew about 70 inches
This was one bobbin full, at about 8 stitch per inch

An easy way would be to lay a clear 1 inch grid over each and photograph.
I hate to see history lost ;)

I have a table partially finished now, it looks quite a bit like yours.
Thanks for the offer

I was hoping gmcttr might make copies of the boot / shoe patterns though

Beautiful machines
I have a partially completed table also
If you can, copies of those old patterns would really be great;)



Very cool :D will watch for your DIY

My latest find

A 1901 Singer 29-4 boot patcher

Sews perfectly, no damage to any of the scroll castings on the base.

I use a serger quite a bit for cold weather hammock socks, and for clothing.
Neither of which were nylon.

It works very well to stabilize the edges, and then fold and sew stronger seams if...

Yeah they are not the kind you can pick up with one hand, and if you can there is probably a weight bench in the background somewhere also ;)
Lots of repair parts, and oil for the sump Here

I get...

They are a bit of a PITA to thread but I do love the work you can do with a serger.

Bug nets, and tarp skins, are just a breeze using those.

Very often it may not be a controller issue. Clean and lube everything.

if the machine is "sticky" at all, the motor has to start the motion, and by that point is at full on

here is a Singer...

Interesting concept, A "puller" I need to know more ;)

quick search found this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IRBrrddR4X0

are these adaptable to a Consew or other machines

It has a 1/2 HP 1725 rpm motor and a 3 1/2 inch motor pully.

That is why it is so fast.
They make a 2 inch motor pully, which I will try to find soon, it will cut the speed quite a bit.

I just got this on the way home from the MI hang.

It is a Consew 226R1. It has a walking foot. which should make some things easier

The fellow bought it at auction, and had it 6 months,...
