Found Some Original Singer Paper Work

[shoepatcher]

dikman,

Singer used the SV notation in the model number plate for special versions of that particular sewing machine. The changes could be anything from one or two different screws, bearing vs. bushings, to a total change. You never knew. There was very little if any paperwork on the SV machines. Some became later models in production. To my knowledge, I have never seen an instruction manual or parts list for the SV models.

Thanks glenn. I was rather hoping that Constabulary's new-found paperwork might shed some light on it, but that now sounds extremely unlikely. In my case the 111W152 appears to be the same, but in reading the manual I've realised it could be a 152, 153 or 154! I now have to try and set the foot adjustments according to the manual and try and work out the max lift, which may give me an indication just which model it is.

All of which raises the question - without an instruction manual, how could anyone ever adjust them???
