New (to me) machine, thanks to you!

[eLeM]

I just wanted to thank everyone that responded to my other post looking for help picking a machine. Without your advice, I might have ended up with a much more expensive machine and disappointment. Instead, I spent $200 and a several hours cleaning and swapping out the motor on this beautiful Singer 211g165. I got the servo for free from a friend that had it lying around collecting dust, so I got a great deal on that! Anyway, allow me to show off DeVille #9 (the factory it once lived in, and the number on the table). If anyone has stories to tell of theirs, helpful info and links, etc. please share!

You did good, got a real bargain there. They are good solid machines and it should serve you well.

Congratulations!
Can we get a good photo of the back of the machine?

Specifically I'm looking for what attachment points the machine head has for a knee lift / foot lift. Having a knee or foot lift is quite convenient...worth putting in the effort to source/install one. 

 

I used to have a motor controller that said "by consew" like that. It had a minimum speed of 200rpm. If you haven't already, I suggest finding a manual for the motor controller and making sure the minimum speed is indeed set for 200. (Factory default is probably higher than that)

Also, if you don't have a 45mm pulley yet, they are easy to come by, for example here: https://www.amazon.com/KKUANG-Industrial-Aluminium-Electric-Clutches/dp/B0DLGNBZFQ It will slow down your minimum speed at the hand wheel, and increase the torque at the hand wheel.
