What kind of Singer Machine did I buy ?

[Oldiesfan]

Is there somebody who can tell me what kind of machine this is and how old ?

And when possible explain me please the mechanism on top near food tension.  It seems that you can lower this into a hole .

 

Maybe a manual?

 

Thanks

Looks like a 34k post bed and the part that goes in the hole should connect with some kind of cam on the inside which will raise the roller wheel every turn of the shaft.

Just found this....Folker restored one of these

According to ISMACs the serial number with no letter prefix dates the machine to 1892.

Thanks for the reply 

You're answer is correct !

I lowered it into the hole and tightened the bold . When turning the wheel and at some point the roller foot is raising. 

 

This machine's weight is 27 Kilo .

Does somebody have a correct User Manual for this machine ? 

Soon I need to clean it in a decent way . When i bought it nothing was moving . With  heat and wd40 it came loose. For now everything is moving and it picks up the thread . That's a good start for the beginning .

I bought this one for a scrap metal price . 5 €

I have one - please send me a PM with your email address

If the hook is missing the machine is using the large 29K hooks as for the singer 29K60, 29K72 or Adler 30-7

 For me it's just a hobby . And i like the old heavy industrial  cast iron machines . Not only the Singers . 

Modern machines are to expensive and no money is coming back when I would buy one . No work for it .
