Singer 7-33 parts missing

[Silky]

Hi folks.

I have a highly modified 7-33 that is missing some parts.

I have all of the manuals/parts lists that I could find here and elsewhere and have seen some videos of running machines.

I'd like to have a few very clear photos of the parts shown in the attached pic. Views straight in, angle front and to the rear if possible.

Or any other nice clear references would be great.

This machine I have has a custom feeding arrangement and appears to have been gutted of the original feed parts.

I'm considering getting it back to normal for canvas/fabric work. I love the throat clearance.

It runs well the way it is but is fed via an intermittent gearbox driven conveyor arrangement. I will get a few pics later today.

Might not be worth fooling with, just curious.

Thanks

Found a mfg plate on it. Was built by Moffett.

The feed chain indexes 1" per stitch. Variable speed DC motor. Custom needle foot.

ALL of the original feed is missing. The drop parts and the pressor bar, foot and linkage.

It also has a drill spindle that cycles with, and is offset 1" from the needle.

Very well built machine, but has quite a bit of wear.

Question:  does the upper walking foot and bar just pinch the material while the lower dogs do all of the feeding ? or does the foot also feed by a linkage ?

this one pic is big so you can zoom in, more pics in next post.

thanks

Considering the age of that long-obsolete model and what has been done to modify it, I'd say it is what it is. I doubt you will be able to restore it to its original configuration.

Of course, I've been wrong before.

You might be right Wiz, thanks for your attention.

I've got the top figured out .... it would be minimal to restore.

The bottom end, however, is another story.

It will need everything feed related. From the dog to the stitch length regulator knob.

Whats the chance of finding all of that stuff ..... at a reasonable price ?

And, am I correct on the walking foot description ?

[Silky]

So its a book binding rig, cool.

I have all I need to fix the top end but nothing for the feed below.

If no parts are available, I can make them if I can find good examples with a few dimensions.

Fixed stitch length will be fine.

Thanks for any info.

I can´t tell from your picture what is missing, check the parts numbers in a parts list and then check with a sewing machine dealer. Not sure if it is worth the money. Expect that it will not be cheap.

The Consew and the Seiko machines in this class came from the 7 class singer.  Chances are a lot of those parts are the same.  Will not be cheap!!!

As far as the feeding goes, it seems to be missing more than what remains, lol. Thanks.

Just as I was about ask for any exploded views, as the Singer 7- ## parts documents are so hard to visualize, the Consew, Seiko and Highlead pdf's of similar models illustrate the mechanisms (and what I am missing) quite clearly. Thanks for the hint ! Not likely I'll find any of these parts at a reasonable enough price to even consider fixing up this ol' rig. I bought the entire machine at scrap price mainly for the other components anyway. This Singer part was sort of along for the ride. I'll set it aside for now. Ya never know, I might stumble across some parts someday. Would really be nice to see it running though.

Thanks to all for your advice and assistance.
