vmaniqui Report post Posted November 9, 2013 new member here and just got myself a singer sewing machine 16-188 for $1. the guy just wanted it out of his basement. so i decided to give him $5 instead of his $1 asking price. i checked that it is a 1940 machine. the buyer told me that it's been sitting there for awhile but was working before. i have not tried it yet as i figure it will need some fixing. didn't fire up the motor yet. i wonder if anyone here has any experience with this sewing machine and would be able to point me to the right direction on how to resurrect this mean machine. i figure it will need a new motor belt and a bobbin plate. anyone know where i can get those ? appreciate all the help. thanks again.
