Singer 132K SV 11 -> a 132K6 variant?

[Constabulary]

sooo - my 132K6 setup is almost done

Finally found a plate (badly wanted a vintage one) - well rather a complete machine from I which I only needed the plate but the rest is nice too. However for my setup I only needed the plate. I restored a stand earlier this year (see above pictures). Plate was dirty and oily but a lot of paint thinner and sanding made it look nice again - still have a nice vintage look. Plate is really nice quality and also has these nice extensions on either end.

This is the "donator"

I had to modify the plate to accommodated the larger 132K flat bed + hinges.

Some pictures - I don´t think I have to make a lot of words:

Nice job Folker.    A lot of work as usual as we both know what is involved to do these.

Looks good. I like those old stands, they look nice and are very solid.

Where did you get the motor? I haven't seen one with such a low profile before (so low that i can't see it!)

@dikman - thats a secret Singer technology only a few know of - its a self powered machine you can run it with plutonium but I have a hard time finding plutonium - have to check with the Russians .

I´m about restoring the old clutch motor which really runs nice and smooth but not sure if I will install it here (but it´s just worth keeping), I think I will go with a JACK servo. Since I want to use the old motor mounting holes (1 left side , 2 right side  - so just the other way around as on nowadays motor mounts ) and due to the speed reducer I have to make a extended motor mount to make room for the 2nd V-belt. Something like this... (stolen from Hot Rodders forum)

Great job Folker, That turned out really well, I think we all have machine envy now! When are you opening up the Singer Museum??
