Members Mynx Posted May 24, 2021 Members Report Posted May 24, 2021 I can’t really tell what this machine is, someone posted it locally and was a little interested. It looks to be a triple feed machine, but can’t really think of anything that look like this. Thanks Quote
Moderator Wizcrafts Posted May 24, 2021 Moderator Report Posted May 24, 2021 You need to get a picture of the front of the machine to ID it. Also, ask for a picture showing the foot/feet from the outside left. This will reveal if it is a walking foot of any type and whether it is needle feed, dual top/bottom feed, or triple/compound feed.

DonInReno Posted May 24, 2021 Report Posted May 24, 2021 (edited) To me it looks like the singer version that the Consew 28 was based on. If so, it is not triple feed - they are needle feed with a walking foot and no feed dog. Edit: I think they are cool - but I’d only pay about $100 for one in good working condition - $50 for the apparent condition of this one. Parts will be hard to get.

Ahh yeah I think you’re right about it being needle feed. Its hard to tell from the picture. The seller said it’s in a storage locker, so they won’t get back to me with other pictures for a few days unless I buy it straight up. Just based on shape and the back it looks like a Singer 78 class machine to me. Was just looking for another opinion. They’re looking for $100 with table and motor. The machine definitely looks seized and in pretty rough shape, so will probably pass on it. Thank you. Quote
Members cdthayer Posted May 25, 2021 Members Report Posted May 25, 2021 I think you’re correct on the 78-series. It looks like the 78-2 with the bobbed-off deck for sewing mattresses. Good repair machine for tight areas. I’d love to have one of them. Here’s a photo of the back side of my 78-3 if it will help any with identification.
