AdamPCain Report post Posted July 7, 2018 So I picked up an old Singer 241-12 off of craigslist with the table and motor I cleaned it up and all it needs it a new check spring for the tensioner and belt. The belt on it was made of leather, I have never seen a motor like this set up below. It's an electric motor that just engages with pressure from the foot pedal. Can anyone give me more info on this motor setup I researched it and came up empty handed. I do plan on replacing it with a servo motor I also know I need high rpms for the oil to flow. I could't pass this up it looked clean and it was only $75. The woman that sold it to me said it was her mothers that just passed, she made a living using the machine as seamstress. Thanks for any info Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you very helpful, not sure if I want to put a servo motor on now. I think it's pretty cool and unique. Love this forum I wouldn't have gotten this info.

Give it a try and hopefully you will be pleasantly surprised at how much control you will have with a bit of practice. I found out who made the clutch assembly a company called Atlas. Theirs supposed to be a cork friction pad on in between the 2 plates, I have emailed a couple of places with no luck. Do you or anyone else know were I can find one, or could I just get a piece of heavy duty cork and cut one out? Another item I am looking for is the spring for the knee lifter the one on it came with is broke in 2 pieces. I can buy the whole knee lift kit but if I could find a spring it would be a lot cheaper worst case I guess I could rig something up. Thanks for any help Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
