Hello All, I purchased a beautiful vintage Singer 132K6 with table at an auction for $50. I took it in and had it serviced, but it doesn't look like they cleaned it etc. Not so sure they did much other than thread it and ran a few stitches. I am doing some upholstery work on my boat. (BTW, I would like to thank a poster for making the manual available on this site.) I recently changed the needle from a large scarfed needle to a new Organ 216x1, #19 running poly 92 thread. I have noticed the machine will rarely skip a stitch. I cannot find anywhere in the manual instructions on where to adjust the timing or hook, only the needle bar. Not many resources out there, thinking about selling it and buying a consew. Thoughts or instructions? Thank you Jaybird

Hello to you all. I'm new here and I'm happy to meet all of you.My "story" begins about a year ago when I have found an old russian copy of a Singer 15K in my grandma's basement.I knew nothing about sewing machines at the time.The machine was dirty with most of its components frozen.But with a lot of googleing and CLA and patience it's working fine again.After the initial sewing frenzy I've remembered my pasion for leather sewing from university times.So I've decided to find and buy a leather sewing machine that won't kill my pocket.Long story short a couple of weeks ago I've bought this barn find which was almost dead.Full of rust and mud and goat hair(?) and with missing parts but quite cheap.So bring it home,took it apart,clean it and put it back toghether.I did my best to adjust it based on preavious "experience",but the fact that the tension spring is missing and maybe some other parts from the front plate,makes all my efforts useless.I don't even know what sort of tension spring should I look for.It's a regular one like those used on house sewing machines? So now I need more than guessing or luck.I need some solid advices or maybe an user manual which I admit it's almost impossible to find.Maybe someone have a Singer 34ksv manual they seems to be identical.I think that Adler has made something that looks like it but I'm not sure.It also have a special bobbin in dimensions-7,5mm hight,21mm outer diameter,6mm inner diameter.Are this kind of bobbins and bobbin cases still made?Where can I buy it from?I'll try to attach few pictures. Thank you all and wish you a happy,good new year. http://youtu.be/yewxJVP3wjE

I have a vintage Brother sewing machine that was made in Japan. It was my mother's....think it was purchased in late 50's or early 60's. I have accessories with extra feet and bobbins. I don't have any place to set it up, so that is the only reason I am selling. I have tried to find a price on ebay but haven't found anything, so make me an offer plus shipping!
