Members iron1951 Posted April 13, 2020 Members Report Posted April 13, 2020 Any idea where I could chase down this Singer take-up lever, part number 203270 (or 203271 complete)? It is from a 21w30. Thanks Quote

Members iron1951 Posted April 13, 2020 Author Members Report Posted April 13, 2020 I have the roller, stud and screw. I just left them out of the picture. I broke the take-up lever putting the machine in a table and not noticing that the 21w30 bed was shorter than the cut-out and the machine fell. I had just finished painting the machine. See "Oops I Broke It". Quote

Members Gregg From Keystone Sewing Posted April 13, 2020 Members Report Posted April 13, 2020 (edited) I don't think so, but I'll check too. I had to look up the model, never heard of the 21W, looks like a very old needle feed top load. Interesting and very nice looking model.

Members iron1951 Posted April 15, 2020 Author Members Report Posted April 15, 2020 I have had a couple of people suggest that I weld the take-up lever. So that is what I did. Actually brazed the lever. Here are the pics. I decided against brazing the back side because I was afraid the heat might melt everything. I did groove the front side before I started brazing. Here's the pics. Quote
Members Handstitched Posted April 16, 2020 Members Report Posted April 16, 2020 Maybe it wouldn't hurt too much to braze that last bit ? , or fill it, perhaps just enough to cover the crack, sand it down , and paint it the same colour as the machine? At least you can use the machine now until you can find a replacement HS Quote ' I have a very gweat friend in Wome called Biggus Dickus, He has a wife you know, do you know whats she's called?

Members iron1951 Posted April 16, 2020 Author Members Report Posted April 16, 2020 Thank you for looking. Quote
Members iron1951 Posted April 16, 2020 Author Members Report Posted April 16, 2020 Handstitched, I was afraid that if I tried to braze the back, being such a thin arm, the heat would melt all my braze. So I thought better off to play safe and leave as is. I did scarf out the crack to about a 2/3 depth before I brazed. My torches are industrial size not really meant for this fine work. But once all together, you don't see the braze. I am definitely still on the lookout for a replacement part. Quote
Members Handstitched Posted April 16, 2020 Members Report Posted April 16, 2020 Yes I see what you mean , you wouldn't see it at all. But despite that little " oops I broke it " moment , its still looks great HS Quote ' I have a very gweat friend in Wome called Biggus Dickus, He has a wife you know, do you know whats she's called?
