Singer 47K5 heavy duty zig-zag sewing machine

Recommended Posts

This machine came up in a general thread on zig-zag machines. It seems a significant and rare enough machine to have its own topic for future reference and easy googling

I had made a video demonstrating the machine. I didn't know which exact model it was at the time:

 

Today I came across two more unrestored versions of these machine hiding under a shelf. One of them had a type tag, which is how I found out what model it is:

I also found a nice quality Singer 47K1, K3, K5 parts manual: Singer 47K1, K3, K5.pdf

The Smithsonian had a cool 1936 sales brochure "Singer Sewing Machines For Rope Stitching" featuring this machine: Singer Sewing Machines for Rope Stitching.pdf
