Singer 29-4 table needed

[Threads]

Hello. Recently pulled out my greatgrand mother singer 29-4 with my son-in-law that wants to start learning leather and sewing. The old 29-4 had been sitting for so long I forgot the table is gone. Does any one know where might locate a table assemble for the 29-4. 

Thanks for your input.

Watch our Marketplace > Sewing and Cutting > Sewing Machines For Sale > Used section.

You can sometimes find a cast iron patcher base on Craigslist, or in antiques malls. Another source would be shoe repair shops.

If you do find one in working condition, make sure the holes in the base line up with the threaded holes in the bottom of the machine. The 29-4 is a short arm model, mating to a short version of the two level iron base. Later models included long arm machines that have a bigger base and different mounting holes. All bases should have a dual pulley flywheel on the right end of the base. The wheel is driven by a treadle pedal and uses a 68 to 70 inch x 3/16 inch diameter leather belt.

Thank you. Yes we have been all over CL but so far nothing. Would be nice to find factory base.

To do that you'd need to build a time machine and go back decades, to the early 1970s. Singer stopped building the 29k series by the mid-1970s. They sold off everything to do with their industrial sewing machine business in the mid-1990s.

As Wiz knows, I just built a modern table and stand for my 29-4 with a Servo.
