    Anybody got a copy of an operations manual to a Singer 132K6. All I have is the parts list. Thanks. glenn miller

    Should be able to. Binders normally built to specs.

    Can you send us a video on you threading the machine? We might be able to tell something from that. glenn

    Contact Luke At MJ Foley. He should be able to get you the bar in either genuine or generic. They were and are still Pfaff dealers. glenn

    I have done the same with most of my machines C including the new DA669. I have not problems. glenn

    The smallest needle size that will accommodate #138 thread is #22/140. A size #20 needle will not sew #138 thread! If you are using a #160 needle, you have to enlarge the hole on the feed dog and move the hook as to left and right. I did this on my Pfaff335 and the machine sewed fine on materials. However, I do not sew veg tan leather on this machine! glenn

    Those were the last Singer shoepatchers made at the Kilbowie plant. Production moved to Japan and the U series after that until about 1985. glenn

    That machine has not been built in at least 70 years. parts are not easy to come by. A few people on the is forum have some parts. Probably better luck in England finding parts. glenn

    It should handle depending on how hard the leather is. glenn

    Sewing Bill. I think the largest stitch you can get on a 111W156 is 5mm. or 5 spi. glenn

    The 206RB-1 was made in Japan by Seiko. The 206RB-5 is made in China. Keep that in mind. glenn

    1/4" to 5/16" depending on the type of leather. glenn

    The Singer 111W155 will sew #138 all day long. However, no reverse and G size bobbin. Certainly in the $500.00 budget. glenn

    I would check with Alexander at Cowboy in Texas and Bob Kovar in Toledo as well. glenn

      I have been busy keeping all the plates spinning on their sticks. The clicker is very close. We got it all cleaned up, resurfaced the cutting board and I have a new 1/2" aluminum plate to go under the beam. I just need to rewire the motor control switch and plug it in. I have some cordura projects coming and it will be great to have it working. Cutting material is a real pain on production work. I'll post an update with photos when I get it finished. Hopefully before January. I have to get a table set up for the 'new old stock' Juki 563 I found. That machine is a real gem. No time to get bored. Always something to do. I hope you are doing well.

    I got news for you. The Weaver auction in 2020 will not be in June as it has been. Rather, the powers that be decided it would be better in December at the fairground facility which is close to the Weaver complex. That's right, it will be in December, 2020. This is a DISASTER waiting to happen. You will have an attendance less that half of normal because of the time of year and the weather. Who wants to travel to Ohio in December? Weather is so unpredictable that time of year and you have Christmas and New Years to deal with. Plus, a lot of people go in June to buy a years worth of supplies and leathers. If those businesses are on a fiscal year, who would stock up with inventory less than a month form the end of the business year? Inventory is taxable!!! This is a big mistake. I will not be going in December simply because of the weather. Mark your calendar in 2020.
