SARK9 Report post Posted January 9, 2016 Does anyone have a large original bobbin for a big hook Singer 29K they can throw a set of calipers on? I need the diameter, height, and hole size for a comparison. Thanks! -DC Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SARK9 Report post Posted January 9, 2016 Thanks Constabulary- I have some here for a Consew 29B that measure 20.03 X 7.6 X 5.8. I'm checking for interoperability of spare parts with the originals. Appreciate it! -DC Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shoepatcher Report post Posted January 11, 2016 SARK9, The Singer bobbins should work in a Consew 29 and visa versa. The Consew 29's was modeled after the Singer 29's. glenn Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SARK9 Report post Posted January 11, 2016 Thanks Glenn- I ordered a 10 pack and will verify.... I'll update if there are any issues. The Consew 29B is made in Taiwan and they are *supposed* to be a pretty close clone-off, but... -DC Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darren Brosowski Report post Posted January 11, 2016 Interesting!!! Do you have any idea of the age of your machine? Normally the "B" was used for Japanese built machines - U was a different factory - and as far as I know they are all built by Seiko. Consew IS Seiko and for all of the machines I know of they changed the numbering system when Singer went kaput. To your question. 29 bobbins are made in China and Taiwan with a small possibility that some come out of Japan - Bob Kovar or others may know more about that - but stay away from the Chinese bobbins as they are often pretty rough. Buy from a supplier who will back the product!! Taiwanese large 29k bobbins 20.05mm dia 7.64 thick 5.75 bore They are the stock I have now but next batch might vary Thanks Glenn- I ordered a 10 pack and will verify....
