Ok johan, thanks.

Johan, does the presser foot have a number on it?

Hello, very nice looking machine johan. looks like september 29th 1948. could you post some more close up pictures?? it is looking like the SV99 just maybe had reverse?? then it turned into a normal 45K92?? http://ismacs.net/singer_sewing_machine_company/serial-numbers/singer-ee-series-serial-numbers.html

Thanks eric. great info.

Looks like some kind of extra foot?? or for a trimmer?? that is maybe why the needle plate is broken also?? are these needle plates the same size as the 45s??

Thats a very neat looking restoration there, well done. would love to get hold of a small lathe too! even smaller!. best regards jimi.

Hi chayse, i was guessing it would be one of these two classes as they use the long plate on the left of the needle plate. one is rounded on the corners and the other not. you can find them in the parts manual. the 17-15 was for portfolios, pocket books etc... and leather stuff and came with a roller foot so it might be that one. iam not sure but i think there are only some parts for the class that has the curved needle plate, not the flat one. i have a 18-2 and there are still plates,hooks and feed dogs available. but for my 17-10.... maybe just a hook, the rest would have to be made as i never see this model around. regards jimi.

17-17?? or 17-15??

Looking great Al, cant wait to see your restored machine! regads jimi.

Hi David, could you put some pictures up of your machine for us? it is always good to see the various classes of this machine and what they were used for. the 68 would be for stitching soles on boots?? would that be right? and it also cut a channel in the sole to hide the stitches? if you need some parts there was someone selling a feed dog for your machine?? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Original-Simanco-FEED-DOG-95101-for-Singer-45K69-45k-69-/272132484551?hash=item3f5c5c2dc7:g:qokAAOSwKtVWvnhl Sorry to digress from the topic of the treadle Al.

Yes it looks like they just cut it out and sanded the corners?

Al, i think that profile you are looking for is the same as the one on the edge of the square board that goes underneath the machine. but possibly a little larger if the table is 30mm thick?? it is in the second last picture of the table top pictures where you see the thickness of the top table. the arm screws into this and not into the table. regards jimi.

Al, that routed edge is on the older tables, this one is from 1950 and has no profile.

This is the drawing of the table, all you need to do is compare the measurements with the drawing. it is out one side of about 5mm. sorry i could not find the old rabone ruler with inches Al. the top as you can see is laminated both sides and pine in the middle. the top looks like beech to me. i will measure the wood that goes underneath the machine and where the support goes, also the drawer if you need that also. and the holes for the belt. regards jimi. P.S. the machine sits on the 395mm long side.

Hi Al, sorry i did not see your other question... yes on the 45k21. that looks like a nice treadle there? well done, that will last for another 100 years for sure! i will go and do some pictures Al.

it is for sewing carpets together

Hi There, they look the same size as the singer 45k machines??

i will see if i can work out some of these angles if i find a protractor or something lying around. let me know if you need more pics Al, no problem.

Hey Al, here are some Photos to get your brain churning.. haha. i will have to find a protractor or something to see these angles?? it is a difficult one to copy exact?..

sorry lad´s i only have that picture i found on the net.. no book and this one... As for that plate and feed dog folker, singer used one similar to that ( 1 set of teeth) for the 45k69 and 71. it was for sewing boots. and "did you know that it had the side wheel option like the 29k??". you can see the thread was tensed on the post similar to the rafflenbeul,frobana sole stitchers. in the picture of the plate and feed dog you can see the part next to it is for sliding on the post to hold the thread down on the spring that goes underneath? it can be seen in the illustration also.. 91794 was attached to the right of the needle plate in one of the two holes ( on a 45k21 the holes are used to attach the guide plate) and is also similar to the sole stitchers in the way that you held your threads under it to be able to start with both hands free....

Hi Al, have not been hear for a while! just got my PC back again "was a goner" i can measure that one for you no problem! happy to hear you found a treadle for your machine, well done and great find! yetibelle- the bar is to support the weight of the machine as the table has a cutaway to the front which in turn weakens the middle. the class 18 also had this and i suppose all tables that had a cutaways alike.. 17... etc?? i will have a look for a parts list but i think there is none floating around??? not 100% sure though...
