Putting a Consew 225 on a Singer 78-1 table?

[FresnoFox]

Will the 225 fit in the Singer 78-1 opening? I am currently using the 78-1 making handbags and it’s doing ok but I found a 225 at a decent price. It has a clutch motor though and I would want a servo. I already have a servo on my 78-1 and it would be much easier if I could just swap out tables.

Thanks in advance.

The Consew 225 needs a 18-7/8 x 7-1/8" opening.

Yes,they will interchange,the knee lifts are different & you'll probably have to adjust the belt because the pulleys are a different diameter.

Thank you. I don’t use the knee lift anyway. I learned to sew years ago on a home machine without and just haven’t gotten used to using it.

Now i'm jealous...lol, my 78-1 turned out to have a bent oscillator shaft...I picked up an adler 67 since then and have been using that with the servo, but the 78-1 really needs a home...lol
