Singer class 7 machine?

[simran]

Hi Sim,

Is that a 12 K?

Art,

It is a 12K sorry. It looks to be in excellent condition. I run the wheel back and forth a couple of times and it seemed pretty tight.

"Picked up" You should warn prospective Singer 7 owners that the head alone weighs about 75kg (165lb).

If you buy one take some hefty mates with you.

After closer inspection I see that it is a 7-31. I found out today that the difference is that a 7-31 had a flatbelt pulley & clutch on the wheel. The 7-33 had the clutch on the motor.

This one has, however, been converted at some point in history.

The Cowboy CB3200, 3500, 4500 and 5500 are clones of the Juki TSC-441. The same goes for the comparable Cobra and Techsew machines. These machines have huge oscillating shuttles and cylindrical bobbins.

The Juki TSC-441 was built to compete against the Adler 205-370. So, if you can find either of these machines cheaper than a Cowboy with the same arm length, buy it. Note that the aforementioned Juki sells for about $6,000 and the Adler for about $7,000.

There used to be a machine called the Ferdinand Bull, which was based on the Juki 441, but modified into a needle feed, jump foot machine. They show up for sale in our MarketPlace every now and then. Beware though, the company is out of business.

Check with member Bruce Johnson. He may be interested in purchasing the tools, then you can apply that to purchase of a machine. Send him a PM. Posting your location may be helpful too.

They are very heavy special with the bottom piece , me and my misses of 5ft4 helped me lift mine to its place of workings, we both were struggling to lift the dam thing, above our hips to drop on the table, unknown to her once iv refurbished the double needle class 7,  that has to be carried back  , lol then we have to carry the 7-33 into its the working area to be cleaned up and and taken back, shes a good old sort ` strong for her size, 

The only trouble with these machines if they ain`t on a table with a hole cut out to get underneath to adjust stuff they are a bugger to tip on there side,
