amuckart Report post Posted April 19, 2010 Hi all, I recently acquired, along with a couple of Pfaff flatbeds, a 29k58, a Pearson #6 and a Marshall bell-knife skiver, a pair of Singer 236W post-bed machines for closing shoe uppers. One is a W100 and the other is a W111 with the built in lining trimmer. My plan is to use one and have the other head available to rob for parts if I need to. Unfortunately the belts are all a bit the worse for wear and need to be replaced. Is there anywhere I can get replacement belts for these machines, or equivalent currently-produced belts that will fit? I have an original user manual which I will scan and put online as a PDF soon. I've got the downloadable PDF service manuals too but the pictures are all unintelligible. Does anyone have a copy of the service manual they can share? Thanks.

amuckart Report post Posted April 19, 2010 Are you talking about the belts for the roller feed? Yep, top and bottom. I haven't had the machine apart far enough to get a good look at the other belt yet. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is that what you use from the motor to the head? I'm looking for the internal belts that drive the upper feed. They're fairly thin flat belts. The under one is about 1/2" and the upper one is about 1/4" wide Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have an old 236W-100 standing around that are missing these same belt you talking about. I do not know what I'm going to do with this machine, I got it for free myself. I tried to give it away a couple of times without luck However, I guess it would be easier with a working machine. I might also use it for some delicate work myself, I sure like the look of the head. Reminds me of the style of 1950-60 ties USA, it looks like and old tractor or a cartoon space ship Did Bob find the belt for it. Thanks Tor Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
