Logans Leather Report post Posted January 22, 2015 Does anyone have parts for a Singer 132k6? I bought one for a great deal on Ebay, and even after I told the seller ho to pack the head so it could be shipped safely, he let the folks at his local UPS store do it. They put it in a single walled cardboard box , no ply wood under it to support it, and they thought that styro peanuts would be enough to keep this 97 pound machine fro knocking around in its box. When I received it, the box was smashed up, and a part of the machine as protruding through a hole in the box. There were a total of 16 breaks in the cast iron,, 3 more cracks started, and the thread lube pot was broken off & its rod was bent. The foot tension screw was pretty smashed up too. If anyone has a hand/balance wheel for one of these, let me know, and let me know how much you want for it. The rod that drives the feed dog is broken in several places too, so I am looking for one of those as well. Fortunately I have a very talented machinist who can weld cast iron, does an excellent job and guarantees his work, but welding cast iron is difficult and involved, and therefore expensive, so if I can get replacement parts, that would probably be better. Speaking of which, if anyone has damaged machines out there, don't write them off, he is very skilled at welding cast iron, and I would be happy to put you in touch with him. He is in Murrieta, CA.

Constabulary Report post Posted January 22, 2015 Holy Cow - what a bunch of dumb idjits! Who pays for all the damages? UPS or the sender? You can buy the balance wheel at College Sewing in the UK (costs good $$$) and they have a wide range of 132K parts too: https://www.college-sewing.co.uk/catalog/search.aspx?keywords=132K But I can tell you that the heavier balance wheel of the Singer 45K will fit on the upper shaft as well. The only thing is that you need a spacer and when you have a machine mounted bobbin winder it will no longer work with the 45K balance wheel. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
