Man I'm jealous nah just envious very nice collection wish I had a couple of them a Pearson , junker& rue , 7 class singer or Adler , from the small to the Hugh . Big flywheels to watch spin and carry the power thru the hole operation neat . We need some manufacturing to remake these just like them its time I think . God bless you in your search for all the remaining machines someone needs to save them , Gary

HI Folker and Gary, am trying to have one of each of the heavy saddlery and harness machines. I also have a few of the old thumpers, however Singer made so many 7 class its almost beyond anyones ability to have one of each. I've attached a photo of some Singer 6 class, 7 class and a couple Adler 20 class. In the foreground there is also a Singer 47K1 and a long arm Singer darner.

The manuals are just the standard type, the 45K manual just in is the cylinder arm version though, but I dont' have the ability to scan it in anymore.

Regards Steve

I have old Bradbury patcher that I"ve pulled out of mothballs and am looking at cleaning for display, I notice in the US there is one on ebay for $5000, isn't that kinda high??? What do you think a Bradbury would normally be worth there?

Works of art need I say more!!! Wish there was a way film them all running to see how they work , to hear the thumping and all the other suttle sounds they make , some are just neat to watch . Gary

Steve,

A Bradbury is never worth anything close to that, even restored. I would say that machine is worth a max of maximum of $1,500.00 it nit's present state. I have bought

them unrestored for as little as $100.00 There are no parts. Bobbins and shuttles are like "hens teeth", they don't exist.

HI Glenn, yes that's what I thought, its probably worth about $1200 here as that's the going price for a running good condition machine. Regards Steve

If you can make a detailed drawing with all sizes and even good pictures a machinist could make some parts . If cad can available could run them on a cnc and make a batch of say a hundred shouldn't be as exspensive as you might think. Gary

I am saving up for a small lathe so I can make the bobbins. Have not looked closely at the bobbin case but think the 29k version could be ground into submission.

HI Darren, yep that'd be great, I've seen the small ones on ebay for around $500. Nice to see someone make something on home soil rather than send to China.
