We recently pickup up this fabulous machine. After reading posts here on the group it appears to be a Wheeler and Wilson version from 1938 or earlier with crank drive, not a belt. The machine has no serial number visible, only an interesting stamped symbol under the top cover. Looking for a manual for this machine as we slowly clean, lube and bring it back to life!

Hello Fellow Leather Workers, Im trying to obtain more information about a speciality sewing machine often used in the bag making industry. I think they call these machines Swing Arm style machines. Do any of our members have knowledge of these? Specifically I'm interested in the pros and cons but also how they stack up against a post bed style machine. Many thanks in advance! Silverd

Hello there I am new to the forums but have been sewing in fabrics and leather for a long time. I recently was given a singer 136w110 as a gift for my birthday. It was shipped and the carrier, fedex, did not do a good job packing it or being careful with it. I am unsure if the issue i am currently concerned with was there before shipping or after but the box it came in was very beat up. The needle broke in shipping and today as i was inspecting some things as i work to figure out a table and motor for it i noticed that when i turn the balance wheel it has a wobble to it. It’s pretty distinct and there is more resistance in the turn at part of the wobble. I can’t tell if the wheel itself is bent or if the shaft it is spinning is what is bent. I wanted to start by removing the wheel but i can’t figure out how to do that. There are two set screws that i removed but then there is what looks like a very big flat head screw on the end. I can’t get that to turn or loosen. I think i might need parts once i am able to get the handwheel off so any help with information or tips on how to work on this machine as well as where to find parts for it would be amazing! Thanks so much

Looking for recommendations for the best & most reliable post-bed, single-needle machine with walking foot. Sewing automotive upholstery. We currently have a Juki 1508 - good machine! We have Adler-Durkopp 268-263 split bar needle feed but would prefer a single-needle walking foot with as much room under the pressure foot as possible. Would like machine that can handle thread size 92-277 but 207 would be fine. Pressure foot 5/8" lift or more. We a bought a brand new Highlead twin needle post-bed walking foot and returned it because machine quality was poor. Prefer German or possibly Japanese machine. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciate.

Hi all - thanks for welcoming me to your community here. This forum has been an excellent resource on my sewing machine refurbishing projects. Ive recently acquired a Singer 51w 55, it is a post bed machine. I got it from an old timer who used it for years and years doing govt. contract work. It was relatively well maintained but is running pretty rough. This is a machine I really want to do a full refurb on, but am a little nervous as parts are proving difficult to find. I started off with an issue where the stitch length adjustment knob has broken off of the threads to attach it to the handwheel. This was eventually solved with a set of screws just under the top plate. I guess I’m just curious what some recommendations would be to start on this thing, what are the first steps I take to a full clean and refurbish?
