small bobbin to large bobbin conversion

[ryano]

Hello,

I had a neat project last week, I rebuilt my Singer 211G166 and converted it to a large bobbin machine. I used the Juki 563 hook, bobbin case, bobbin case opener bar holder and the 563 take up lever. It is not quite a bolt in conversion. I had to mill all face surfaces down .100 on the saddle and also remove .100 off the right side of the saddle mounting boss to be able to move the hook further away from the needle. Fun little project. I just did it because I needed to replace my hook anyways. Any and all questions are welcome.

Thanks!

Makes me want to fire up the Van Norman and the Hardinge right now.
