hbound201 Report post Posted June 2, 2022 The model#WB6710153 I'm trying find out the model of this and repair it. It works going forward by hand and the feet move as well as the needle. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chrisash Report post Posted June 2, 2022 looks like a Consew 563 which is a cone of the singer 111w range, a nice leather machine Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hbound201 Report post Posted June 2, 2022 Thanks. Know of any manuals for this machine? I suspect it is going to need some TLC at least before its ready for use. My uncle repaired these as a hobby so I suspect it will need some work, also a motor and stand. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SARK9 Report post Posted June 2, 2022 (edited) Looks like a very early Consew 226, or one that has possibly had the handwheel replaced with a Singer model. -DC Edited June 2, 2022 by SARK9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hbound201 Report post Posted June 3, 2022 Thanks everyone. I've got a lot of work it seems to get this ready for use but maybe by winter I'll be ready. Then I get to learn how to sew LOL. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
327fed Report post Posted June 3, 2022 (edited) Looks about like my 225 and it stitches right on. Where are you located? Edited June 3, 2022 by 327fed Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Handstitched Report post Posted June 3, 2022 Looks identical to my Seiko STW 28 B ,but a single needle, and same size fly wheel , ...and reverse I wouldn't mind that machine myself. You can't get piping feet for the twin needle machine. Good find that. HS Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm located in SW Virginia about halfway in between Roanoke and Blacksburg. I mostly do knife making but I've wanted to get into sheaths and some other leather goods so this worked out. My uncle passed away a few years ago and he followed my knife making and wanted me to have some of his items to use them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Until it was gifted to me I was considering calling you guys about one of the cowboy sewing machines but that was going to be next year when I'm settled into the new house and shop.
