Art Report post Posted May 4, 2009 No Suze, Johanna has a 153 and that is a 17. Greg needs to get a hold of John Leighton in Alberta, Ph: (403) 749-3871. John is the expert supreme at refurbing those things and can make any parts he needs.

And I do thank you!! I just hope I get some good out of it? I got sucked in, when people were (and still are) claims that the 66 &99 are leather sewing machines, they will sew 3-4oz, nothing heavier! I am still looking for advice! Thanks ACE Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks ACE Sorry about that Greg, although I downloaded that manual ages ago, I didn't really take a good look at it until after I had posted the link for you, I then spotted the "Except for" line. I guess who ever set up the manuals on the Singer site didn't either! Steve Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
