Thanks again, it will be a long process to get it resolved, but i'm I'm enjoying the machine now. Best, Carlos

Thanks Glenn, My machine functions fine as well and i don't think I will need the wax box? But because shippers damaged it I might as well file for a claim. Thank you for your constructive advice, Carlos

Yes that's what I ment. My machine was built in 1942. I was just repeating what the shipping paper work said.

Friends, is there anyone here who knows how much is a Singer 97 10 ( wax box ) cost? Mine was damaged during shipping and the shipping company would like to know the cost to replace just the wax box. The box was ripped of the Head body totally destroying one of the screw mounting holes connected to wax box and the screw on the other side was broken off and is currently stuck in the machine head body. Other than a fabricator, a new box is the next best thing? Need advice, C.

Wow, thanks! I have no Idea there where so many diff. machines?

Thanks again ! ...here is what I found in the patent web. Heavy Iron indeed.

The take up arm is missing. The awl and take off needles are much like the "Puritan" ones. Hi. No markings. Just a serial number on the top.

That's maybe it! It sure looks similar. It's a good direction to research. Thank you again for this.

Some more.

Here are more pics.

Will update with more pics tonight, and i think I did saw a serial number at the top, so I will get back with everyone ASAP. Thanks again, Carlos

Here are more PICS.

Yup, its a mystery. The access cover is missing and the thread "swing arm" that sweeps the line to create the stitch is broken. The machine functions great and the internal gears are not corroded at all. Its a compact and it looks like it can saw a 1/2 inch thick leather as well? There is a ( gold or copper ish ) patina coat under the black paint? Usually when this coat is present, the machine is a bit on the old side? Thanks again every one. Carlos

thanks Bob, I will try it tonight. Carlos

Hi I'm interested, please text me. 407 684 8801 Thanks C.

Hi again, so I just picked up this old machine this week end and it has no manufacturer marks on it? Looked briefly in the net but did not find any info. on it? Can someone please help me in identifying this one? Thanks again, C.

Hi all, so I was cleaning my 97 10 this weekend and I pretty much got everything back to where it was except for the fuse box ( red / white ) wire connections? Don't know much about electrical wiring so I figure this is the best way to avoid a sudden electrical shock! In short I attached a pic of the current wiring situation. Did I got this right? Thanks again C.

Im talking to my welder friend right now about all of this? it is the quickest and cheapest fix, but can be touchy later on as i'm finding out. I'll update when I can. Thanks again for all the suggestion. Great bunch of folks! C.

Thank you so much for both your advice. A friend volunteered to see if he can weld back the pieces together? So lets hope that works out? C.

Greetings all, Just purchased a Singer 7 33. It was damaged during delivery. Does anyone know where I can find a (fly wheel)?

Hi, ...was thinking about the same exact thing. Thanks.

Hi all, ...well I just purchased a Singer 7-33. been looking for this for a long time. Upon receiving the machine, low and behold the machine is damaged. BAD! In short, can any one please help me find a Fly wheel?

Hi and thanks. I'll remove the plate and see if this unit can reverse. C.

Here is a closer pic of the presser. Here is the foot. I cannot find a similar foot design to replace it?

Hi to whizcrafts: No sir, the last guy I got it from said that he won it in an auction? The gentleman that use to an it had passed and the relatives did not want to have anything to do with it? To mikesc: Hi, thank you for this. It lools like you may be right. The presser/ foot does look more like a soldering piece than a traditional sewing foot? So far I have been sewing with it and the current foot seems to be working well. But it leaves a little dimple on the leather though eifht beside the stitch? The clutch motor is hard to control. Your right, I may need a servo for this. Nut now I'll be happy just to get a more traditional presser for it. The pic shows the way the presser is attached.
