Seom Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nylonRigging Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jimi Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Constabulary Report post 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nylonRigging Report post 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 .

mikesc Report post 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.

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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jimi Report post Posted May 2, 2019 (edited) Yakumo is the closest i can find to your model. Does your foot flick or does the needle feed on your machine??? This is a Yakumo DDU-N73 in the video but the foot flicks on this one?? https://store.beforward.jp/detail/Home-Electronics/Sewing-Machines/PA11207128/ Edited May 2, 2019 by jimi Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mikesc Report post Posted May 2, 2019 (edited) IIRC Yakumo is the brand of at least one of the machines used by a recent poster from Taiwan, given the extremely high quality of his work , I don't think he'd use a brand that was not a good one..Seiko made machines for other brands..Consew I think was one .. No idea where you could look to find info on Seiko serial numbers, other than to suggest that you email Seiko themselves..

From what I see, the difference is that the yakumo has a walking foot and my Seiko has a walking needle. Besides, my machine has a back stiching Mike www.instagram.com/tauro_knives_and_leather www.facebook.com/tauroknives Edited May 2, 2019 by Seom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bert51 Report post Posted May 2, 2019 I think it looks like my Adler 105-6, which is drop feed only. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SARK9 Report post Posted May 2, 2019 Nakajima also made this machine as a "DD-N73" and branded it Yakumo as well. I would suggest that anything branded by Nakajima or Seiko will be very good quality. There are hints that this machine was their take on the Singer 45K. -DC Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gregg From Keystone Sewing Report post Posted May 4, 2019 I'll have to look through some old Consew and Seiko catalogs when I get back to the shop. Info does not seem to be on the web nor is it a new current model Seiko. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cdthayer Report post Posted May 4, 2019 I think it’s interesting that the original table has no cut-out under the arm, but appears to maybe be a drop-down? CD in Oklahoma Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikesc Report post Posted May 4, 2019 Maybe someone switched tables ? Damaged the original ?.. I know a guy who has a cylinder arm Pfaff re-mounted on a flat bed table...only uses it to make shoes, and small bags..even so would be much easier to use with a cut out table..

cdthayer Report post Posted May 4, 2019 I like the idea of a flat surface under a cylinder bed machine, but sometimes the open space is required. Nearly all of my sewing (mainly repairs) that I do on my handcrank Adler 205-64 doesn’t require under the bed space, and I have one of those across-the-bed adjustable-height hospital tables that I setup under the arm to help hold the work up for sewing. I’m in the process of adding another Adler 205 handcrank to my herd, and have decided (from this thread) that I’m going to mount it with only one bolt onto my motorcycle air table so that I can use it with the arm over the table, or pivot the arm out past the table when I need the under-arm space.
