Members Rob3rt Posted October 11 Members Report Posted October 11 I bought an incomplete Singer sewing machine at an auction because i thought it was a 45k21, but when I received it, i realized it is a bit smaller than that. Could someone help me identify the model? I would need to order a needle plate and a shuttle hook for it. Thank you! Robert Quote
Members Constabulary Posted October 11 Members Report Posted October 11 I don´t think it is a Singer only because it has Singer tag. If it is a Singer look for the serial number an post it here so we can try to figure more. Pfaff, Adler and Seiko made similar machines of this class. If it was a Singer it would be a Singer 17 but again I personally doubt it is Singer made machine. The stitch length lever look kinda Pfaff-ish - like from Pfaff 25 machines but not exactly the same.... I would almost say it is a Japanese made machine of some kind / brand.

Members Constabulary Posted October 11 Members Report Posted October 11 (edited) needle plate and feed dog are missing, not sure if the shuttle race and cover are complete but I´m almost certain that Singer 17 hooks would work IF the shuttle race is complete. So since you are from Hungary (former east block / soviet influenced) I would bet that it is a East German / GDR made Tetxima 17 or Köhler 17 (or maybe even a PODOLSK of some kind). But I only can guess. Best bet or parts - try Singer 17 parts or Seiko TE-6 parts.

Members Rob3rt Posted October 18 Author Members Report Posted October 18 Thank you for the tips. I was looking for information about the Singer 17 and Seiko TE-6 needle plates, but it seems that the size and the position of the mounting holes do not match in either case. The serial number label is unfortunately missing, and I did not find any number in the casting either. Quote

Singer industrial machine serial numbers are always stamped into the machine body. 18 hours ago, Rob3rt said: I was looking for information about the Singer 17 and Seiko TE-6 needle plates, but it seems that the size and the position of the mounting holes do not match in either case. "Chinese sellers" sometimes mix up TE-6 (left stand) and TF-6 (right stand). IMO you need parts of a TE-6. Here is a SEIKO TE-6 parts list, maybe it helps to figure more.
