Glaciersew Report post Posted December 26, 2018 Managed to snap part #223693 Needle Bar Rock Frame Rock Shaft Crank Connection. I’ll most likely be looking for another machine to replace this one. If anyone has the parts please let me know Merry Xmas Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Constabulary Report post Posted December 26, 2018 sometimes its helpful to show a picture of the part because most people do not know the long Singer nomenclatures and parts number by heart and I´m sure just very few will check the parts lists - if at all. You for sure have to check with a dealer for this part - maybe Keystone Sewing Machines in PA or Toledo Sewing Machines in OH can help you with this.

Glaciersew Report post Posted December 27, 2018 Thank you. I tried loading some pics. Wouldn’t allow anything over 1.4 meg. Is there another method of loading pics? Paid subscription? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do a quick search here or on Google and you will find many options of how to do it. Tom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DonInReno Report post Posted December 27, 2018 https://supsew.cld.bz/Superior-Sewing-Digital-Master-Catalog You can’t order directly from Superior since they are a wholesaler, but you can check the catalog to see if the part is available, or to at least have a better understanding of what is out there.

Nice try but I checked & they don't have it.It probably could be brazed if he has all the parts. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Glaciersew Report post Posted December 28, 2018 Thanks guys. Looks like its been brazed once already. Gonna go that route for now and continue the search for a replacement. The top of the connecting rod had a wick that was dry when I picked it up. It appears to be the point of friction within the machine. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Northmount Report post Posted December 28, 2018 That brazing job was less than adequate! Need to get full penetration of the bronze into the complete joint. Only way I know to do that is proper preparation. Grind the parts, at least one side of the break to form a vee that you can then get bronze right down into the joint.

Wizcrafts Report post Posted December 29, 2018 Sometimes, the best and cheapest way to obtain spare parts, that are made of Unobtainium, is to buy another similar machine and strip the parts off of it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Glaciersew Report post Posted December 29, 2018 It’s crossed my mind.... I’m on the hunt. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Glaciersew Report post Posted December 30, 2018 Found a 111w100 for $100 about an hour away. Hopefully heading there Monday morning. Hopefully it works better than it looks. Lots of rust from storage and general neglect. Seller claims it spins free. Fingers crossed! Can anyone vouch for Consew 226 parts being direct fit for 111w155? If option one fails this is another route. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shoepatcher Report post Posted December 30, 2018 Most parts for a Consew 226 should fit a 111w155. The 226 is a copy of the 111w155. glenn Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you Seller backed out 111w100 so back to searching. In the mean time I did find a suitable replacement at the Consew NJ warehouse, just 20 minutes from home. Not sure what to do w the Singer. Repair and sell. OR repair and setup for binding operations just swap it out when needed. i can’t get over how easy it is to use the 206. I earned every straight line w the Singer. And it fell out of time more often than I can recall. Very happy w the new addition. Edited December 30, 2018 by Glaciersew Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Glaciersew Report post Posted January 3, 2019 Have new antique piece. It clearly has correct part # stamped on it. The old looks to be home made. And the connecting rod is a different part # than what I’ve found in any manual. Now that it’s in the screw lines up exactly w the front access hole. Same for the wick in the rear. Should be fun getting her timed Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
