Heres the man problem, it sews perfectly fine. I don't want to risk messing it up.

I am having problems with my 241. I was sewing with the machine when I had a needle break and go into the needle hole. I believe that I got the whole needle out. When I checked the timing, my machines hook was super dull, and the hook was hitting the needle. Should I replace the whole assembly? Perhaps I could sharpen the hook and do the adjustment. If anyone knows how to make these adjustment, and knows if you can sharpen a hook, let me know. Thanks!

Oh, I see. Thank you, I was just curious if it was possible. Has anyone added a pneumatic foot lift to a vintage machine? Or does that also require a new machine.

How does one attach a control panel (like the cp-18) onto a machine? I assume it plugs directly into the motor. Would this even work on a vintage machine?

I really appreciate the offer, however, I am making a custom bracket and am looking for a head only. In addition, I am looking for a 1” raw edge binder. I was looking at buying the khf2 from kwokhing, but the shipping is$37 so idk if I will.i wanted to find a nice binder head that is high quality without being custom.

Singer 153w102. I have a binder for my 241-3 that I like, however, I hope to use the 153w as a designated binder machine.

I am looking for a binder attachment head for a cylinder bed machine for around $50-$100. I want a step above the ebay binders, but I can't justify a $400 custom binder. Any leads would be very helpful, thanks.

That sounds very interesting to me. I am currently trying to decide between that, and the consew csm1000. They are both around the same price, but I have hear better things about the familysew. Does anybody have any opinion on this matter?

I appreciate that, however, if I get a servo motor I wanted it to be brushless so that I did not have to worry about changing brushes. Thank you for the offer though. Although, the circuit board burning concerns me. I will look around and see what I can find. Thanks for the help.

I really appreciate the help! I have a 241-3 that I use, but the mechanisms on this machine are entirely different. I bet over the years of working on these, the components become second nature. What kind of motor do you sell? Is it Brushless?

I bought a singer 153w for doing binding on heavy canvas and vinyl projects. I am going to set it up as a designated binder machine. I have some questions that I am hoping some of the members might be able to answer for me. First off, I am confused about why the button for changing stitch length on a 111w is on the 153w because it has a dial on the side? does this serve another purpose? I am going to make a custom bracket and use the KHF2 from kwokhing, does anyone know of a higher quality binder head? This screw (below) adjusts some thing that makes circles, what is it and how do I adjust it properly? Does anyone have a motor recommendation for this machine? I realize that I am bombarding with questions, but any help would be nice. I am also wondering, does anyone with a 153w have this cloth stuff under the feed dog?
