Members Colt W Knight Posted November 7, 2015 Members Report Posted November 7, 2015 I replaced the clutch motor on my Consew 206-RB with a servo a while back. Typically, I am not the type to throw anything away, and generally I would use that motor to build something else just for fun. However, I am moving, and I need to make some room in the trailer. Does an old consew clutch motor have any value? Or is it going to have to go in the trash? I simply cant take it with me, and I am finishing my doctorate so I do not have much free time to find it a home. Quote

Members dikman Posted November 10, 2015 Members Report Posted November 10, 2015 the burnisher motor is a great idea. If a little bit of overkill...... . Having said that, I now have two of these wee beasties spare (including an old Singer that may almost rate as a classic model). The idea of a burnisher had already occurred to me, but the biggest problem I have is finding somewhere to mount it!!

Members bikerdaz Posted January 3, 2016 Members Report Posted January 3, 2016 I have two mounted on the end of my work bench. One has a brass wire wheel on the end and the other,a cloth buffing wheel. All linkages,bolts and attachments on all of my sewing machines are very clean and shiny ;-) Quote
