Adding reverse to Class 7 Singers

[James850]

Hey friends, does anyone have drawings or plans to add reverse to a Class 7 machine? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Apparently there used to be conversion kits for sale to add reverse, but I’m not sure that they are still available. Perhaps @CowboyBob  can provide an update.

maybe worth checking with Keystone Sewing in PA but seems their website is down (or has a bad SSL certificate) - are they still in business after Gregg passed away?

I don't have any plans but found a couple of links which maybe of some help:

1) Singer Class 7 with pneumatic reverse and Efka servo motor ( www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1RGcViVqc4 )

2) Singer 7-31 with reverse and 7-33 hand wheel (https://leatherworker.net/forum/topic/79636-singer-7-31-with-reverse-and-7-33-hand-wheel/) photo's of backside reverse

3) The Reverse Feed Lever/Button on the Singer Model 353 Genie Sewing Machine ( www.youtube.com/watch?v=dYOx1U7Cs24 ) principle of how a reverse level works

4) Patents of reverse add-ons ( Link1 ) ( Link2 )
