Noah4 Report post Posted March 30, 2010 (edited) I have an old singer patch walking foot machine. I took it to a sewing machine guy in town to be tweeked so I can use it. You know, timing set, let me know what needles {I took some too him just in case}, etc. Everything's moving on it and it has been oiled and cleaned abit. He called and told me he mostly know home machine so he can't do it. I am desparate to start using it as it's just what I need for alot of my projects and orders. If someone could direct me to someone it would be very much appreciated. Thanks, Terry Edited March 30, 2010 by Noah4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Art Report post Posted March 30, 2010 Take it to Bob Kovar in Toledo, he or his son (Little Bob) can fix it, and he probably has every needle ever made. You can contact him here on LW, his handle is sewmun. Art I have an old singer patch walking foot machine. I took it to a sewing machine guy in town to be tweeked so I can use it.

Noah4 Report post Posted April 3, 2010 Thanks Art I know Bob. I had been trying to find his number. His son comes through my area and I figured possibly he could take it and return it on his next trip. It's abit far for us to take it to him. Luke, there is NO other sewing machine repair people here that know anything other than house machines. Of course I looked around, but thanks for the advise.

Noah4 Report post Posted May 18, 2010 I'm about in the middle near Wooster, Ohio. That'd be great! I've been needing to use this machine. Terry Where in Ohio are you? I might know someone who can help you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mokosh Report post Posted June 27, 2010 I'm about in the middle near Wooster, Ohio. That'd be great! I've been needing to use this machine. Terry Sorry for the late response! I was given this guy's contact info by a friend who worked for a sewing machine shop. His name is Steve (937) 481-1791 and he did the repairs for the shop she worked at. I believe she said he was from the Dayton area, but I'm not 100% sure. I seem to remember hearing that he did house calls for industrial machines, not sure about what area he was willing to travel though. But I figure it's worth investigating! Hope this helps!

Noah4 Report post Posted June 28, 2010 (edited) Thanks. I think I've talked to this guy. I did find a local person that's going to look at it, and maybe get it running. I just have to find time to take it to him. Hi Mokosh, Bob at Toledo's number is 1-866-362-7397. Steve Edited June 28, 2010 by Noah4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
