Last weekend i found in a junkyard a pretty pack of sewing machines. After half hour of negotiation I bought it for 140$. The pack includes four singer sewing machines (two 18-2, one 29k1 and one 108w20) one divider and one cutter for soles. Except the 29k1 and a 18-2 all the rest in working condition with a good cleaning.
I search in ismacs page for serial numbers and I can´t find the 108w20 number (W585470), in fact, I can´t find a W serie. Someone knows an explanation for this?

Do you have the parts and service manuals? The service manual happens to be in Spanish, which should be easy for you.

According to sewshop.com the W series records were lost. You probably know W machines were made in Bridgeport, Connecticut USA.

Yep, I have two W machines, and while you can often find manuals for them there's no information available about their history.

Nice find on the machines. "One mans junk is another man's treasure" certainly applies here.

Hi, thank your for your replies.

Evo160k thank for the links, I already have the manual downloaded from:

http://www.semsi.com.mx/manuales-de-servicio-maquinas-de-coser-industriales/manuales-singer/

They have a lot of manual from many brands.

By the way I don´t knew that W series were made in Bridgeport, thanks for the information.

dikman you are right I can find manuals and photos easily but nothing more.
