Singer 96K41 - Head Only + Accessories - Like 31-15 But W. Rotary Hook + Reverse

[Constabulary]

Selling a nice Singer 96K41 - built in 1949 as it seems. This is just the head + some accessories.

It´s a bit "like" the Singer 31-15 but the 96K41 has a rotary hook instead of a CB hook and it has reverse.

This is pretty much the "Grandmother" of all the modern drop feed straight stitch machines.

Condition is quite nice considering its age. Still has the original paint (not over painted) - the paint on flat bed is not badly worn off. Most of the original decals are present and in good condition. Machine is running very smooth, it has been cleaned and oiled. I have removed some dust and dirt and old hardened grease. But it of course is not clean as new. The machine is gear driven, this means it has no timing belt but shaft with 2 grease filled gear boxes which connects upper + lower shaft - both gear boxes have been cleaned and filled with new long life grease. So you probably don't have to touch them for the next years.

The mechanism inside the head is pretty much the same as at my heavy duty Singer 133K2 but of course in smaller dimension. The foot lift is about 8-9mm so I would say it can sew at least 5-6mm thick materials. This of course is not a heavy duty machine but can sew garment type leather w/o problems.

I will update this add tomorrow (hopefully) with some more details + information and maybe a Video

I ask $75 + shipping and including all accessories (there are more than shown in the picture - I will make a list tomorrow)

Will ship worldwide and take Paypal. Machine will be packed up carefully and well padded with Styrofoam. Please send me a PM if interested.

Here are some quick pictures:

My first industrial sewing machine was a 96k40. It was one sub-model before this and lacked reverse. If I didn't already have a 31-15 I would buy your 96k41, just to have one.

Sell your 31-15 and buy my 96K41

Okay - I just have checked intl. DHL shipping rates and it makes no sense.

Shipping to the US would be more than 90€ and to EU countries it would be approx 55€ as it weights more than 40 pounds when packed up

If someone still wants it I´d sell it for $50 as is + shipping.

I don´t want to store it any longer - I´m open for offers. If someone needs just spare parts from it send me a message.
