Singer 7-9

[blondicare]

Hello, I am new to the forum and have learned much just reading through the different post. I am seeking information on the Singer 7-9 machine. I found this lovely workhorse at an hit-n-miss/steam engine show and had to add it to my collection of antique/vintage sewing machines. After a rather discouraging internet search, I found this forum and hope possibly someone will have information or can lead me to more information.

Thank you in advance,

Carol

Carol,

The 7-9 was replaced by model# 7-34 you mighjt find more info under that #,years ago we used to modify these to sew to 3/4" of leather as they come from the factory they will sew 1/2" they were made for general heavy sewing like tarps & etc & can use a real large thread.

We still have some parts & needles in stock.

I plan to use this machine for repairing and modifying my draft harnesses. It is in great condition for being over 100 years old, well oiled and maintained by previous owner.

Just out of curiosity, what would be a "good price" for a machine like this with table and servo motor in good working condition? I feel that I scored a great deal at $200.

Another question, how does one get the bobbin shuttle out? It has been a while since I have worked with the shuttles and don't want to mess something up.

Thank you,

Carol
