Members Throntree Posted January 18, 2015 Members Report Posted January 18, 2015 Hi I recently stumbled across this machine, and need assistance identifying. There are no marking plates other than a serial number EY115119 and the name singer on machine. From research on this forum and the net, I think it is a 133k model . Could anyone perhaps assist me in identifying the machine Thank you Kobus Quote

Members Throntree Posted January 18, 2015 Author Members Report Posted January 18, 2015 thank you, yes it is a walking foot. I want to use it for sewing knife sheaths, which I have been hand stitching up to now. If it is working properly, what would ne a fair price to pay? Quote
Members Constabulary Posted January 18, 2015 Members Report Posted January 18, 2015 (edited) The 133K´s are really nice machine, I recently have restored a 133K3. But keep in mind that it has no reverse. The EY prefix makes is a post 1965 made machine I´d say so it is relatively "new" (mine if from 1932 and still runs smooooth) http://www.singerco.com/support/machine-serial-numbers/double-letter Well, it depends in what part of the world you are. Sewing machines in Australia are by far more expansive than in the US or Europe. When you are buying form a private seller the price should be about 1/2 of the dealer price I´d say as you have no warranty, support and so forth. It also depends if the machine comes with useful accessories or even with some spare parts. In Great Britain some dealers ask 1000 GBP (approx. $1500) or more. The one in the picture seems to be a really nice one. I would say between $600 and $800 is a fair price when you are buying from a private seller. I have uploaded a user manual for the 133K8 - check the below linked post. Maybe its useful in advance. http://leatherworker.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=56667&p=383242 Edited January 18, 2015 by Constabulary Quote ~ Keep "OLD CAST IRON" alive - it´s worth it ~ Machines in use: - Singer 111G156 - Singer 307G2 - Singer 29K71 - Singer 212G141 - Singer 45D91 - Singer 132K6 - Singer 108W20 - Singer 51WSV2 - Singer 143W2
