Wayne, I'm glad the hear you got your machine going,

Knut,that's a great buy & it's even better if you get extra parts as those flat needle plates are almost extinct here.

Bob, on the pic there is a needle plate with a guide and the feed dog for this plate. The needle will barely touch the edge of the material. What is it used for ?

Also, the conical "thing" to the right, what is it ?

I've seen them on other machines like the champion & landis #1 have them & there called pricker feet,they push the thread down deeper in the stitch & they are matched for your stitches per in so you had to match the foot w/stitches pr in. I've never seen this part for a singer 45K,does it have a singer part # on it?

There is a number : 91790 on the bottom side, (no "SIMANCO" label), and on the raised part, attached with two screws and with the square opening for the narrow feed dog, the number is : 91791.

I look through some parts list I have & have a feeling that it is a Singer # for both parts but I can't find them,so if you ever found a parts manual for the 45KSV49 you find them in there.That's probably what made it a SV machine

Picked up the machine today ( been on a vacation in Denmark last week) and cleaned it up. The most obvious differences are : The flywheel is heavier on the KSV49 than on the 45K21 and the needle plate is flat on the 49 and domed on the 45K21.

I threaded the machine and .... it sewed perfect (without any adjustments,) better than my K21, so they changed places in my shop.

Thanks for posting your pictures, that is a very interesting looking 45k variant. I would only be guessing as to it's original use, particularly with all those fantastic extra parts! The only thing I can think of, mainly because of the flat needle plate, is that it may have been designed for some specialist harness making purpose. The range of roller pressers seem to indicate the need to get very close to the edge of something.

Today I traded my old doghouse and kennel net ( dog moved to dogs heaven a while ago) for a modern Singer sewing machine stand and a clutch motor. Good trade as both of us thought we got rid of old junk ! Took the table from the treadle stand and put it on the "new" stand. looked for and finally found a speed reducer I knew I had "somewhere", so in the next few days I´ll have a second 45K motorized and running. I´m still wondering of the use of the special needle plate in the box but I guess it is that part that makes it a Special version!?

I would think that ALL the parts that you have there make it a Special Version!
