You should be able to test the machine when you get there. I finally got it today, thanks for your help! I found a 29k71 not too far from the omega, so I went for both machines today. 300cad for the 29k71, it looks in good shape, seems like the bottom gear parts have been replaced. I'm not sure how upper threading goes on the Omega, I just figured it should looked like this from reading different machine's user manuals, and I was able to makes some stitches... Quote
Members Constabulary Posted November 30, 2020 Members Report Posted November 30, 2020 (edited) Good score for 300 CAD, I´d say. The green machine has a driven top feed but no needle feed. It should work well with garment leather. The 29K71 has a broken thread lever (easy to get and to replace.)

I was going to weld the lever today so I can try it asap, how do i remove it? Its attached with some sort of punch pin, do I just punch it out? Quote
Members Constabulary Posted November 30, 2020 Members Report Posted November 30, 2020 The pin is tapered and goes out from back to front. A few gentle hammer taps should drive it out if not rusted in place. Then remove the thumb nut and spring - done.

Just greased it and I'll try again later. I'll heat it up a bit to see if it also helps. Quote

Members sandmanred Posted December 1, 2020 Members Report Posted December 1, 2020 Your omega looks a lot like a Singer 16 I had for a while. Your thread up looks right to my memory. Enjoy! Quote Have Consew 255RB-3, Pfaff 545 H4, Chandler 217, Pfaff 138 and Merrow 60W. Had a Singer 132K6, Singer 78-3 Consew 28, Consew 18, Singer 31-15 and regret selling each and every one of them
