Members RFMarsh Posted August 11, 2013 Members Report Posted August 11, 2013 I just got an old, treadle powered SInger 15-36. It looks like it will do a good job on projects too small for my Cobra Class 4. But, I'd like to add a motor to it and eliminate the treadle. Has anyone done it? What do you recommend for motor? Are there conversion kits? Quote
CowboyBob Posted August 11, 2013 Report Posted August 11, 2013 We have a 1.5 amp motor that we sell to people for doing this,does your machine have the motor boss on the side of it? Quote Bob Kovar Toledo Industrial Sewing Machine Sales Ltd. 3631 Marine Rd Toledo,Ohio 43609 1-866-362-7397
Members RFMarsh Posted August 11, 2013 Author Members Report Posted August 11, 2013 I don't think so. There's a mount for a bobbin winder, but I don't think a motor would fit there. The only other motorized Model 15 I've seen has the motor mounted under the table-top. Quote

Members RFMarsh Posted August 12, 2013 Author Members Report Posted August 12, 2013 Positive. There's a big brass plate on the front with the model number on it. It's an old "glover" that was used in a leather shop for years. Quote
