Members iron1951 Posted July 21, 2015 Members Report Posted July 21, 2015 Hello everyone. I am a newbie and this is my first post. I have to admit that I am going to be sewing boat seat covers an not doing "leather work" but who knows? Every time I search the web for information on my machine (new to me), I always seem to pull up the LW website. It seems that there are a lot of knowledgeable people here when it comes to the older sewing machines. I am looking for a parts/service manual for my machine. I have downloaded the 226R-1 manual and it is helpful except for my bobbin. That is what is confusing me. My bobbin holder is a Simanco 241676. Is this correct for my machine? The holder does not look like any of the holders that I see on the net. It is sewing okay, stitches good, but I would like to replace the bobbin holders. I have attached pictures (hopefully). Thanks for any info you could pass on. I really don't want to buy the wrong bobbin holders. Thanks Anthony Quote
Members shoepatcher Posted July 21, 2015 Members Report Posted July 21, 2015 It looks like someone installed a Singer #168101 bobbin case and or hook in your machine. Consew's 226 was a copy of the Singer 111W155 and the Singer 168W101 and 168G101 were the post versions of the 111W155. and had a different bobbin and a cap on the bobbin case. If it was me, I would change it out only because the cap can be a pain when changing bobbins. Also, the 168 bobbin does not have a slot or hole in when it comes to winding a bobbin. I have had a few #168W101's and they were a good machine. glenn Quote
Members iron1951 Posted July 22, 2015 Author Members Report Posted July 22, 2015 If I were to change this "bobbin assembly" what parts would I need? Where would I get them from? And how much should I expect to pay? Anthony Quote
CowboyBob Posted July 22, 2015 Report Posted July 22, 2015 This type of bobbin case works better when your using heavier thread,you might want to try it for a while before you change it.(If it ain't broke don't fix it?) Quote
Members iron1951 Posted July 22, 2015 Author Members Report Posted July 22, 2015 Cowboy Bob Good to know. It ain't broke and I would rather not fix it. But can I get some bobbin holders for it? I'm not sure of the tension spring and I am missing the oiling felt. Would Toledo Industrial Sewing Machines be able to help with new bobbin holder and/or refurb parts? I am from Canada. Thanks Anthony Quote
