I got it complete on Wednesday with cabinet and footboard. I oiled it already twice, greased two metal gears, extracted some rust under the footboard at two axle bearings, shortened the leather strap a bit, repaired the feed dogs countersink (a jack reel was deadlocked). Now it works fine, sounds like a Swizz watch mechanism. Super silent and perfect stitches. One can see it's made in Germany!!!
All-in iron. I ordered a manual already, a boobin winder rubber (one of the two were worn out) and a high shank presser foot holder (with it I can use all my other snap-in presser feet). What I got was a lot of accessories too (among other high shank presser feets three width roll hem presser feets!
). For all I paid 1,50 + about 15€ for gas (I had to drive about 150 km to take the machine home).
With this machine I got 4 nylon gear attachments which 8 different stitching patterns. I can put these gears above the bobbin winder into the machine.
I will post detailed pictures of this machine as soon as I get the manual and this boobin winder rubber spare part. Then I will show how it is in action. For me this was a very big bargain. It's a Meister Universal-Zig Zag- and Straight Stich Sewing Machine Class 101. I think it was made about 1948-1950 and was one of the best machine at that time. It looks still (almost) like new. Inside the machine the machanism is exactly the same than in this black Meister Zick Zack machine shown above. Outside the machine there is some added functionality above the bobbin winder or hand wheel on the right side. And it has already a light on the left side. Therefore I think it is a improved and somewhat newer version of the Meister ZZ.
