DFH Report post Posted January 13, 2019 I was looking at C/l fri night and a man had just posted a light weight Singer sewing table for 30.00 . The add said sewing machine but the three photos only showed an empty table and motor with no machine . When i contacted him to inquire about the sewing machine he said it was under the table . Thinking he was unaware the photos he had posted did not have the machine i said i could not see it . As it turns out he thought the motor was the sewing machine . I offered him 20.00 since there was no sewing machine and he excepted . The motor was my only interest its a Family brand 550 watt brush type servo motor like brand new with extra brushes in the table drawer . Now for the observation i just got thru installing a Consew 1000 with speed reducer on my Phaff 145 and i really like with one exception . Turning the hand wheel you have to over come the magnetic impulses of the motor . And working backwards thru the reduction pulleys makes the impulses very noticeable . This new to me brush type turn smoothly with no impulses I am looking forward to installing it and seeing how it compares with regards to power Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
