 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 . 

 

what kind of sewing machine you are looking for? Also the fabric you want to wok on?

I look for everything that i like . Most of the time they come on my path . On flee markets,  Carbootsales etc .

When i use the machines that i already have i sew everything.  Most of the time thick material's. A Pfaff 130 for regular the normal stuff. 

In use  Singer 132k6, Singer 132ksv18 roller-foot with reverse , Singer 45K89 converted into a roller-foot version and now recent that Singer 34K type from 1892 . And this one i think is not for heavy materials !? But i could be wrong .

The Singer 132Ksv18 did cost me quite a bit of money. But that was included a lot of materials .

Needles en yarn as well. 

For that one i paid 500 € .

@Oldiesfan I think it sews boots, and other 'awkward' stitches. 

I'm kinda envious now

think that there are a lot of these 34k versions on the market !? Not always for scrap prices but for nice prices. 

 

For shoes and inside rucksacks or other not to big  repairs i use ( i forgot to mention it before ) an Adler 30-1 machine. A nice one and fully functional . It does 4.5 from the 5 mm stitch length, that's nice after so many years . 

O ... In the barn we have a fully dismantled Adler 30-7.

And the Bobbin case out of that machine seems to fit into the Singer 34K .

Nicely very Nice 

A question ! I see a lot of Singer post bed versions with reinforcement .. see picture. 

Are these larger 34k versions or what is the reason for this ?

Yes, they are 45k heads not 17k or 16k heads, you can see this in the illustrations above they need more support.

I see a lot of these on the internet.  But the one i own seem to be rare . A 1892 version is from the first year they came on the market !? 

I'm not sure about that !
