I have two of these machines and I’m thinking about getting a newer model to replace them.  Is there still a demand for these old work horses? 
 Thanks

Certainly. A couple of 29-4s near me here in the rural far north US sold a few months back for $275 each.

The only Singer patchers that are newer than the 29k71 are the Japanese built 29U171, 29U172, and 29U173. Anything else that is a newer  patcher will either be a Chinese clone, or an Adler 30 series, or a Claes. At least the Adler 30 class uses the same bobbins and shuttles as the Singer 29 series. You sub-class 71 uses a small bobbin.
