Wizcrafts thanks I will print out the check list. I turned the machine down because I called a few machine specialists (ohio and L.A. )and they told me you can not get parts for this. You can for the singer 29K and 29-4 and many others but since this was a sample machine it is very rare . Not all its parts are compatible. I will use your advice and print this for my next look at a machine here in the near future. I found a singer 29-4 and it has been sitting inside an office not used for years . I also looked at it yesterday. It works but is stiff. The old directions that come with it say to pour kerosene in the oil holes to loosen it up. I would take it to my machine guy here in Los Angeles who refurbishes these and he said it would be 80 bucks to take it apart and get it working smoothly. It 300 bucks and looks to be in great shape from what i can tell.
I really want one of these patch machines . It is the shipping that would kill me if i got one from Ohio or the East coast.
Thanks , Army
