    There are 220 volt servos made to use your voltage & they work good .

    Also needle & thread size, what thickness & type of material?Old or new leather?
  4. CowboyBob
    Well the price will be $1,295.00 + shpg.I haven't had my hands on one yet , but will by the end of this month.Yes.it's not a machine for everyone, BUT we get a lot of calls for hand stitchers.Some people want one to go to shows with or don't have the room for a standard type machine w/a table. Yes,it looks very similar to the other handcrank BUT it's made of cast-iron & steel gears & there's some other improvements too.So it will be more user friendly. Due to the heavier construction it weighs 50Lbs & still light enough to be portable.

    Are you sure the long groove of the needle is one the leftside? What JSL technique were you doing?
  6. CowboyBob
    Or heat the shaft & twist it.
  7. CowboyBob
    Yes,alot of the old Singers were pinned.
  8. CowboyBob
    These teeth can be ground down or fill in w/JB weld.

    Here's a pic of the feet,the only ones I can get.
  10. CowboyBob
    No,the feet I can get are #36253 outside &#37326 inside.That part #3 you have is a thread guide & should be there,a standard 3-hole one will work since you can't get that one anymore.
  11. CowboyBob
    Yes,that can be welded JB would never hold.You can either have it brazed or electric welded. OR you could patch it with a piece of steel plate underneath it,matching the contour of the casting ,drill some holes & use some small bolts & nuts (it won't be look pretty) but will work if done correctly
  12. CowboyBob
    If you go behind the machine,,open the plate just to the left of where the foot lift chain fastens on.
  13. CowboyBob
    From your pics it looks like a standard onmodified 72w19.It is made to sew real thin materials like chiffon & fine tapestries I don't know what they would be doing with this machine sewing shoe uppers.
  14. CowboyBob
    Here's an Adler we welded with electric & nickle rod,we ground the welded part thinner,pre-heated welded an inch peened it ,kept it hot & weled more & it's still holding after 10yrs. welded Adler.pdf

    I would recommend(for future reference) if you use #207 on top to use #138 in the bobbin,it is hard for these machines with this type of hook to pull the bobbin thread into the material for a better looking stitch,so the smaller thread is needed in the bobbin.
  16. CowboyBob
    Yes,it does hemstitching,you might want to look on utube for some videos.We do stock needles & bobbins for them.
  17. CowboyBob
    Try turning the screw the other way,it's left hand threads.
  18. CowboyBob
    Hey Bob,Ok thx for the definition,your right it does have quite a bit of mass too! But to me the "flywheel" is aka the handwheel, it is quite a bit heavier & didn't want anyone to misinterpret it which one you meant!
  19. CowboyBob
    Wasn't that bearing in the speed reducer?
  20. CowboyBob
    Yes,you can by adding a piece of plywood underneath the back of the table(where the head mounts & run the motor belt to one of the pulleys underneath ,disconnect the treadle rod off the bearing & add a piece to it to connect to the motor. Probably won't any sense to you until you get a motor in your hand & then you should be able to figure it out .
  21. CowboyBob
    Ok,we had some that chattered @ low speed something like the OP.
  22. CowboyBob
    @Wiz,didn't some of the servos I sold you yrs ago with the digital readout do that?
  23. CowboyBob
    The 135x17 or 135x16D (for leather) are the same length as the 16x99 & 100.I can't seem to find any welt feet anymore BUT do have some standard flat feet in stock. Have you seen this yet?http://parts.singerco.com/IPpartCharts/78-1.pdf
  24. CowboyBob
    The problem with alot of the older needles is the eye in the needle are smaller than the newer ones,so you might have to bump up a size or two so the eye of the needle is large enough for the thread you want to use.The easiest way to check is thread the needle through a piece of thread & hold it vertical & see if it slides down the thread w/o hanging up,if it does then it'll work.
  25. CowboyBob
    Yes,the Consew 205 is the same as this except the 337 doesn't have an oil pump.We used to sell these years ago ,be careful not to jam it up,unless they've been replaced(which they probably have by now)the hook gears tend to break pretty easy . y
