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?

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.

Some pictures :)

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. :dunno:

Some pictures :)

some more

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.

Some pictures
