Members Constabulary Posted May 28, 2015 Author Members Report Posted May 28, 2015 I have removed the original clutch system since it is not complete so this no longer is an option. Sure, the clutch of a clutch motor disconnects but servos have no clutch. I worry that the huge + heavy wheel on the back of the machine stand would probably kill the servo. So leaving it out and adding a speed reducer and / or adding larger pulley on the main shaft is the better option I think. I noticed some Luberto´s had nice large pulleys. BTW - have you received my PM?

Members Constabulary Posted July 23, 2015 Author Members Report Posted July 23, 2015 I was able to locate some parts. Shuttle cover even seems to be NOS. My original shuttle cover had no spring so I bougt the complete unit. Hope the needle plate screws will fit...

Members Constabulary Posted August 16, 2015 Author Members Report Posted August 16, 2015 (edited) Finally found the time to "electrolyze" the stand, paint it and reassemble it. Someone else said restore the stand first so you have a base to work on the machine. That indeed was a good idea. The paint looks live much better.

Members LumpenDoodle2 Posted September 28, 2015 Members Report Posted September 28, 2015 Great to see an old machine like this being restored to use. There's something special about using a solid old sewing machine that you just don't feel with modern ones. Quote “Equality? Political correctness gone mad, I tell you, gone mad!!!!

Members Constabulary Posted October 7, 2015 Author Members Report Posted October 7, 2015 Great to see an old machine like this being restored to use. There's something special about using a solid old sewing machine that you just don't feel with modern ones. I absolutely agree!!!! Lots of progress today - cleaned all the parts and painted most of them but I left some unpainted just for optical reasons (I like it). Hell, this thing has a million parts and screws. I made some chronological mistakes while assembling everything but finally everything fits together and machines spins nice and smooth but yet I have not sewn with it. I still have some work with it. Paint job still looks a bit strange in the pictures - its actually more olive than green. Some pictures some more 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
Members LumpenDoodle2 Posted October 7, 2015 Members Report Posted October 7, 2015 I look forward to seeing the first stitches. Quote “Equality?

Members Constabulary Posted October 15, 2015 Author Members Report Posted October 15, 2015 pulled the bobbin winder parts off the electrolysis bath today, wire brushed them and gave them a new paint job. Still have to clean and attach some smaller parts but thats how it looks atm.

Members Constabulary Posted November 22, 2015 Author Members Report Posted November 22, 2015 Still working on this machine... Actually my longest restoration project EVER. I still don´t know if I will motorize it or not. But I was able to locate a very nice and quite large cast iron step pulley that perfectly fits the machine. I made a copper shim and it now fits like a glove. Shaft needs a flat spot for the set screws but thats something for the cold days. I stripped the paint in an electrolysis bath and painted it. I actually have 2 of these large pulleys - maybe someone is interested in the 2nd one. I´ll post it in the sales section in the days to come.
