Global 9971 reverse sewing

[Moti]

Hello, I have a Global 9971 post bed sewing machine, the cheapest model, and it does not have reverse sewing, is it possible to add it?thought it was possible because there are models that have the option so it must be something that can be added or changed

Your best bet might be asking the folks at Global  (https://globalsew.com). They’re based in the Netherlands. 

Global’s Model descriptions indicate that only the LP9971 R-LH has reverse.

LP 9971
– Single needle postbed machine with top driven roller, wheel and needle feed with standard hook.
LP 9971 C
– Same as LP 9971, but with Chinese hook.
LP 9971 R-LH
– Same as LP 9971, but with manual back tack and large hook.
LP 9974
– Double needle postbed machine with wheel feed and top driven roller presser ( no needle feed) and equipped with
standard hooks. Standard needle gauge 2,4 mm.
LP 9974 C
– Same as LP 9974, but with Chinese hook.

 

Their manual for the 9971 machines shows an old Singer 111W style feed motion eccentric. I doubt that you can upgrade this to add reverse.
