Members vonL Posted November 8, 2020 Author Members Report Posted November 8, 2020 That's not the one I'm afraid. The one I'm searching is stepped, and shorter. Around 3 centimeters total. Attached is a picture of the one from my 111w153 Quote

Members vonL Posted November 8, 2020 Author Members Report Posted November 8, 2020 Yes, I've sent an email, unfortunately they have not, and informed me that it is no longer in production. I suppose any screw with the right thread should do the trick, but would not have the same esthetic as an original/repro. Quote
Members Constabulary Posted November 8, 2020 Members Report Posted November 8, 2020 (edited) I now see you mentioned inner foot, seems I overlooked this - my bad, sorry! Mine is for the outer foot. Optional Seiko STW 8: https://www.college-sewing.co.uk/10708-vis-de-barre-de-pression-seiko-origine.html Or a thumb screw 7/32 x 32 (see 2nd picture) Edited November 8, 2020 by Constabulary Quote ~ Keep "OLD CAST IRON" alive - it´s worth it ~ Machines in use: - Singer 111G156 - Singer 307G2 - Singer 29K71 - Singer 212G141 - Singer 45D91 - Singer 132K6 - Singer 108W20 - Singer 51WSV2 - Singer 143W2
Members vonL Posted November 15, 2020 Author Members Report Posted November 15, 2020 (edited) Here she is - pretty in grey wrinklepaint. Only done a few passes in 10oz denim and all is well so far, but the p.o has sewn a 1 cm thick sail with it. I'd never dared, that stuff was severely thick and stiff. She'll have a easier life with me. I'll have to clean up some very sticky gunk which is everywhere but the outside. I suppose it is a lubricant or grease of some kind. I dont know about the bearings, they sound worn. Or at least this machine (not the motor) makes more noise than my 155 and 153, which have no bearings (?). I need a front slide plate, it's gone missing. Anyone know the part nr for the front slide plate? Edited November 15, 2020 by vonL Quote
Members vonL Posted November 26, 2020 Author Members Report Posted November 26, 2020 (edited) I am still searching for that presser bar thumb screw - I ordered one from a juki lu562, but it did not fit, it is a hair too thick. I am selling the machine and in need of the right screw. Is there any chance someone on the forum that can sell me one? Or knows the thread and size of the screw? Can Anyone confirm that the screw from a seiko stw8 fits the singer 111w155? Or this one for a consew: Presser Foot Screw, Consew #10708 Edited November 26, 2020 by vonL Quote

Members duckySews Posted February 19, 2021 Members Report Posted February 19, 2021 HI! Been lurking for a while... Finally got my 111w155 set up and doing the once over and she is missing the same "Vibrating Presser Bar Thumbscrew" knob (same as VonL) and the spring and shaft too!!! She seems to sew just fine...do I really need it???? I can't really see how it puts more pressure on the needle foot. Quote
