I'm Off To Look At A Singer 29-4 Tomorrow

[stanly]

stitch regulator puck-down (moved a little)

foot lifter block-to center end of travel (have plenty of lift)
Now have 7/inch

Feed motion cam-

sounds difficult and expensive?

Think I've read comment that Toledo Ind. sewing machine has parts for these machines.

I'll get them on ph tomorrow.

Your 100+ year old patcher has a worn down feed motion cam. The parts can only be replaced by taking them from other. less worn Singer patch machines. Bob Kovar (Toledo Industrial) has as many parts for patchers as anybody I know on this continent. The old part must be removed from the bottom of the barrel shaped front of the machine. This probably means disassembling the needle bar from the take-up barrel on the top. Use caution when pounding the tapered steel plug out. Bob can advise you about disassembling the head in order to get the front off, then the feed motion ring and cam.

You would be farther ahead just taking or shipping the machine head to him, in Toledo.
