Members dikman Posted October 20, 2016 Author Members Report Posted October 20, 2016 Jimi, that list shows just how many different models Singer made, and that the SV designation goes right back to class 5! I noticed that classes 68 and 69 had a very large number of SV machines listed. Fascinating. Madmax, I remain sceptical about such lists (as, I suspect, you are too). I've yet to find any such references. Quote Machines wot I have - Singer 51W59; Singer 331K4; Seiko STH-8BLD; Pfaff 335; CB4500. Chinese shoe patcher; Singer 201K (old hand crank)
MADMAX22 Posted March 28, 2017 Report Posted March 28, 2017 Saw this 31SV52 on CL. Not gonna pick it up but figured I would post the photos here. Kind of interesting, it has a reverse button apparently. Wish he had taken better pics. Said it was a Army version, whole setup is semi portable. Quote
Members cdthayer Posted March 29, 2017 Members Report Posted March 29, 2017 That looks like the model that the Army Air Corps used to parachute out of planes to outfit remote encampments during WW2.

CowboyBob Posted March 29, 2017 Report Posted March 29, 2017 The standard head like that w/reverse is model# 31-32,so I might guess that when they put the clutch unit on it they made it a SV model because maybe they didn't make very many that way??
