call Bob at Toledo or Greg at Keystone. They can get a take up lever for you. glenn

We need pics to distinguish the models. Without a pic of second machine, I cannot really recommend a machine. glenn

That post with the ball at the end was for a singer light. I remove that entire post off them on the Singer machines. The newer gooseneck LED lights so much better.

pic available of second machine?

For sale: Cowboy 227R. Machine was only used for 3 hours in a seminar. It is on a pedestal off the arm metal stand. Comes with pedestal stand, bobbin winder, servo motor, drawer, Led 28" gooseneck light, needles, oil bottle and oil, manuals. Machine located in Oxford, MI which is 45 minutes north of Detroit. Price $1595.00 plus shipping. Message me for pics.

, and yeah. Any chance of getting more pics of the needle bar area? The take up lever guide is all bent to hell. That needs to be removed and straighten. Send more pics of the head from different anglws if you can. The bobbin winder is missing the drive wheel, slide plates missing just so you know. Pic of the aluminum model in back of the machine. glenn

Same machine built in same factory. Bob is good. So is Steve. Surprised Cobra never got back with you. Their loss.! glenn

ok

It means removing metal on the underside of the throat plate in the narrow groove that hold the bobbin case finger and some work on the hook. glenn

That is an Adler 67-373./ Chandler was a distributor for Adler in America for a number for years. Good machine. glenn

I have had the balance wheel off. before. If you are trying to replace a timing belt, that is fun. glenn

Great machine That will work for you nicely. I have one. I replaced my Pfaff 335G with it. You got the best machine in its class on the market. You will not be sorry. glenn

I would also check with Hoffman Brothers. They are the large sewing machine dealer in the Chicago area. glenn

Bellflory, The Singer 168W101 was copied by Consew. That was the 229 which is no longer made. Almost all parts fit the 168. I do not know what Seiko's number was. I am helping a guy rebuild a Singer168 We got a few parts from Consew. There are some generic parts available as well. To my knowledge, no other company clones the 168. glenn

Deal with Bob Kovar at Toledo Sewing. The best. glenn

Yes if you have any bring on the dies, ejector foam can be glues to the braces. Done it many times to dies.

Call Manufacturers Supply Co. in St. Louis. They deal in Atom and Fipi. They should be able to walk you thru the wiring set up. glenn

Great job as usual C! glenn

Greg, The needle system for these machines was Singer #1955-75 which is a 135 x8 needle. I think that is the same as a 135 x7 needle. Hope that helps. I think the Consew had a 229 which was a copy of the Singer 168 walking foot post. They also made a 228 which I think was this machine. The new 228-11 is an updated version of that. I would contact Consew and see if they still have any literature on the 228. glenn

C you are right. Should have the slide cam to make walking foot height easier. glenn

I found the machine in a Singer parts and needle catalogue It is either a 138B6 or a 138B6B. difference seems to be the feed type. Compound or Drop feed Came with roller catalogue copyright 1987. Try finding info on Seiko PW post series sewing machine. glenn

Made by Seiko for Singer! glenn

Landis made them all from Model A to Model L. glenn

A cut off needle works better than a nail for the small tension release pin! glenn

Nice JJN!!! glenn
