She’s broke....Singer 111w155 parts needed

[Wizcrafts]

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.

It’s crossed my mind.... I’m on the hunt.

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.

Most parts for a Consew 226 should fit a 111w155.  The 226 is a copy of the 111w155.

Greatly appreciate ya looking! 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.

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
