Members Seom Posted April 27, 2019 Members Report Posted April 27, 2019 Hallo everyone. I want a buy that Seiko sewing machine. Does anyone know what a type or model is? Unfortunately, there is no number or symbol on it. I don't know where to look for the manual and information on it. I'd appreciate your help. Greetings. Mike Quote
Members nylonRigging Posted April 27, 2019 Members Report Posted April 27, 2019 (edited) Is it just a Drop Feed ? ( bottom feed-dog only ) ? . with just stitch length/reverse lever on the R-side . It does look like there was a model/plate missing there under the stitch length knob . looks like some discolor where it was till removed, or knocked off . It should have had another small plate riveted on saying where made ? . 'made japan' or 'made china' . but I think that Seiko is Jap. machine. But , If can't find any model plate or anything ??? it might have a factory 'cast stamp' or something more under bottom side of the head if you look . If just Drop feed . I would not choose it to sew Leather with as my 1st choice . ( bottom feed ) , it actually sewed really good for heavy Webbing/fabric . It sewed #277 thread great, and up to #346 only satisfactory . About 1/2" high material is the limit for Needle . It only takes 15 minutes to take down the bobbin assembly and look at the race, Hook, Bobbin ...etc . and put back together. If were me looking to buy .. I would Sew on it and bring a some webbing and throw under the foot and see how the Hook and assembly treating the stitching . -- Looks just like a old ( China made ) 'Mercury' branded Head I had years ago that was just a bottom feed . And they made that Machine Head copied/branded under a mountain Pile of different cover names . The "made in China" heads were just disposables . 'china made' , Run them till sloppy and get rid of . . Edited April 27, 2019 by nylonRigging Quote
Members jimi Posted April 27, 2019 Members Report Posted April 27, 2019 I am not sure of the model number but i think this is a nice needle feed machine, Seiko machines were made in Japan i believe and were well made also. The equivalent model would be something like a Adler 105. Quote
Members Constabulary Posted April 28, 2019 Members Report Posted April 28, 2019 agree with Jimi - it´s needle feed machine, you can see the hole in the feed dog and the pivot point for the needle bar. Don´t know the model but if the price is right I would buy it.

Members nylonRigging Posted April 28, 2019 Members Report Posted April 28, 2019 Good eye, on some blurry Pic's . . Ya, if Needle feed, It will be good Head to get . Needs to bolt it down and roll some stitches with hand wheel to see it sews good . Find out why? It Not table mounted and laying around solo . Then offer Low-Ball price and take it home ...LOL .

Members Seom Posted May 2, 2019 Author Members Report Posted May 2, 2019 Thank you all for answers my post.

mikesc Posted May 2, 2019 Report Posted May 2, 2019 (edited) Looks to me like it might be an older model of Seiko's CH type.. https://www.hobkirk.co.uk/seiko-ch-series-extra-heavy-duty-cylinder-arm http://www.seiko-sewing.co.jp/en/products/chseries/ The "compound feed" type, ( it has only the needle bar and the presser foot ) not like the "compound feed and walking foot" type..which has a needle bar, an outer presser foot and an inner presser foot..( 3 Vertical bars when viewed from the bobbin end )..

Yep, it’s very heavy and strong machine. I’ve problem with cluch motor. Is to fast and not precision. I undressed him and I tasted the clutch of graphic paste but it didn't help much. Quote

If you can/are happy feathering the clutch and slowing it with your right hand on the wheel, do that. Otherwise spend £100 on a servo motor. Quote
