singer 29U172

[catskin]

I have used every search term I can think of and all I got is we can't find what you are looking for.  So either search on here is broken or there is nothing about this machine. I am wondering if a Singer 29U172 is a big bobbin patcher?

Try putting this into Google. leatherworker.net ; Singer 29U172

Our search engine has nowhere near the power of Goole.

Also what does the A mean after the 172 ?  I missed putting the A in my first post.

All the U machines were made in Japan.  The first was the 29U171.   The next series was the last one Singer made.  It was the 29U171A, 172A, 173A.  I have books on both.

Do you have a 29U171 or 29U171A?

I expect to have a 29U172 A later this week.  What is the difference between a 172 and a 172A?

[shoepatcher]

The 172A was built in Japan.  They never made a 29U172, only a 29U171.   The 29K172 was made in Scotland.  The good news is the 172A used some of the old parts and some new metric based parts.

Thank you,  I have seen a few places where  29U172  was mentioned but likely not quite accurate.  YOU are the one that knows the details.

I will when I get it.  I am not very digital so have not been able to post pictures on here. They were always too big.  I might have to email it to you.
