Well I really tore into my 97-10 today. It had a few different problems. The needle bar rocker frame rubbing the front plate(fixed), a couple of tapered bolts were too tight also causing the machine to turn over hard (fixed), I loosened and re tightened every nut, screw and bolt on the machine head. I also drilled out the upper needle guide and pressed in a needle guide bushing from a Landis 1 machine. I inspected, cleaned and oiled every moving part along the way. Now for the fun part, I need to adjust and time the stitch length cam. This may be a little tricky. I will start fresh with that in the morning. Hopefully it will be sewing soon. Once that is achieved, it's time to make some new presser feet and needle plates.

OK guys.

Heres the pics that I took in the Wanaka Transport museum of the Singer 97-10. My mrs thought I was nuts talking pictures of some old boat anchor sewing machine but I secretly thought that I wish I could own it and fancy it up and get it to sew something big.

Anyway I dont think the museum would have sold it anyway. (I didnt ask)

enjoy the pics

ryano,

Sent you a pm w/pictures of the cam. Not sure if I did it right or not. I also have a copy of the owners manual and the parts list. I would like to know a price for the stirrup plate and foot. I'll also try to post two pictures here.

That's what I needed and mine is in correctly. Just can't seem to figure it out right yet. Thanks for taking the time to take and post the pictures. I greatly appreciate it! Can I ask you of you another favor? Can you please take off the cover plate in the front of the machine, where the needle bar is located, and snap a few pictures of that? Thanks in advance!
