Members silverback Posted October 26, 2013 Members Report Posted October 26, 2013 Steve,how much do those big rivetters go for, I knocked one back for a $100 not long back as I had no where to put it and I couldn't shift it anyway.Did you get that needle and I ve got another one for you. Quote
Members benlilly1 Posted October 26, 2013 Members Report Posted October 26, 2013 Wow! Love the look of the oldies! Quote
Moderator Wizcrafts Posted October 26, 2013 Moderator Report Posted October 26, 2013 I sure could have used an 11-34 to sew up the arm on a project yesterday! Quote
Members Singermania Posted October 26, 2013 Author Members Report Posted October 26, 2013 Hi, yes got the needle, I'm sure I sent you a message, sorry if I forgot, I really did appreciate it, I've been telling everyone just how kind people can be. You probably should have grabbed the riveter, I'd put the value more at around $1200 each, they are massive and not replaceable. I have the same problem with them, one in particular is tremendously heavy. I sure could have used an 11-34 to sew up the arm on a project yesterday! Its an across the arm machine, but yes you could have reached quite deeply into a bag or cylinder with it. Quote
Members Singermania Posted October 29, 2013 Author Members Report Posted October 29, 2013 Thanks for the emails and PMs re selling the Pearson BUSMC no6 machines with the complete heating apparatus. I paid quite a bit to get them and am in no great hurry to part with one, to me they are both priceless as I can't imagine getting another in full kit again. They look quite a sight with the optional table and kerosene lamps sitting on their cast iron brackets. Really appreciate the offers for the machines and am unsure at this point what the next step forward might be. Regards Steve Quote
Members suzelle Posted October 29, 2013 Members Report Posted October 29, 2013 Great Machines! Love to see the oldies! Quote
Members Singermania Posted November 1, 2013 Author Members Report Posted November 1, 2013 a few more pics Quote
Members RoyalLeatherDesigns Posted November 1, 2013 Members Report Posted November 1, 2013 Nice machines, I wonder why we don't see many of those long arm cylinder Singers here in the US? Quote
Members Singermania Posted November 1, 2013 Author Members Report Posted November 1, 2013 Hi Ralph, its Saturday morning here, nice and sunny. The Singer 11-34 is made in the States and so is available from time to time, there is one on ebay, a Singer 11-20 for $5000, but yes quite rare now. The Singer 133K series were made in Scotland and so I expect that you had another good local machine that would have been in service at that time. In 5 years I've only found 3 Singer 133K8,.... and the two Singer 133K17 long arm versions that I now have are the first I've ever seen let alone owned. They are cylinder arm versions of the Singer 132K6 that is very popular in Australia and England but not that highly thought of in the States. I understand you have a nice collection of machines, I would like to see a photo when you can manage it. I've attached a pic of a Singer 97-10 on its original stand, I wonder would anyone have a few of these old stands for sale. Regards Steve Quote
Members RoyalLeatherDesigns Posted November 2, 2013 Members Report Posted November 2, 2013 (edited) Steve, Besides,the Singer 97-10 that saddle makers like what other Singers are sought out by saddle makers refereeing to Cylinder arm machines. I seen the one on eBay it is expensive, what needle system would this machines take. What are its abilities in the ad it states it can handle 415 thread but how thick of a material can it handle. As far as the stand i think if they were ever separated from the head they were probably scrapped. there is one for sale complete here and the other one I sent you in Oklahoma. But you never know it never hurts to ask maybe theres a stand out there that didn't make it to the dum I hope. God Bless! Ralph Garcia Edited November 2, 2013 by RoyalLeatherDesigns Quote
Members simontuntelder Posted November 3, 2013 Members Report Posted November 3, 2013 Somehow I never get tired of looking at old sewing machines and these ones are very special Quote
Members VanRhodes Posted November 4, 2013 Members Report Posted November 4, 2013 That truly is an awsome collection of old sewing machines! I'd love to see more of the old heavy duty singers! Quote
Members Singermania Posted November 8, 2013 Author Members Report Posted November 8, 2013 I find one of the most combinations here in Australia for saddlers is..... Pearson no 6, Singer 133K8 or 133K17 and a Singer 29.... this trio of machines seems to come up time and again. The Singer 11 class uses a singer 11 class needle, about 1mm longer than a 794 needle.
