Surprise #4:

Damn - there are even hooks for the Golden Wheel 810 / 820 that looks very much like the Singer 111 hook. They have the same needle deflector but no shaft instead they have the same "2 prong mount" as my original 51W hook and the Durkopp hook I´m currently using. So I´ll gave it a try. For less than $10 you can do much wrong.  :lol: 

GEH-820 hook

Quick update - above mentioned hook has arrived - it fits but the hook tip is touching the needle and I cannot move the hook to the left. So the GEH-820 hook does not really work for my 51WSV2.  So back to the Durkopp hook. ;)

I meant: cannot move the hook to the right (cannot alter the post)

I also have ordered a slide plate / cover for the hook from College Sewing part number is 221215. It also works fro the early 51w model. Original slide plate is a lot nicer because it is full metal and the new one is just stamped sheet metal but it works. I will try fo fit a binder attachment to the new plate (just for playing around a bit).

This is the OEM W&W foot and needle bar in comparison with the Singer parts (W&W to the right - Singer to the left). So you can well see where Singer got the idea of the 111w / 107w (f.i.) feet from. Unfortunately they are not interchangeable (screw holes do not line up) so I switched to the Singer NB so now I could use all the 111w needle feed feet and 107w feet. But as mentioned above atm I have installed a NB with roller foot.

I will add a Singer decal when the machine is fully set up. If you mean the floral design - well that's not what I really like.

Thanks a lot Glenn.

Parts update:

These screws for the needle plates also work for the early 51W. Stocking a few spare screws can´t be wrong  ;)

"Decal Update"

Thanks to LW member EVO160K who supported me with this nice "special" decal. Actually the letters are vinyl like stickers but very well made with real gold foil (afaik). Looks a bit 3D-ish...

Looks a bit different compared with thin water slide decals but I like it especially because of the Font with the long R.
