Hi all, first time caller here.  I just bought a singer 133k.  The label says 133SV1 but after reading some posts here and finding a website to match the serial numbers I think it is a 133k built in 1940.  Anyhow,  I was wondering if anyone knows where to get a manual for this thing.  I bought it because I make knives and leather sheaths.  The guy said it was made to sew boot soles?  So I figured it would be powerful enough for what I want to do.  Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.

Can you post some pictures of your machine please? Some 133K´s were darning machines. I don´t know the 133KSV1 so would be good to see some pictures.

I once owned a 133K3 which was a quite nice drop feed machine.

I will try.  I have to change the files so that they are small enough to be allowed.  

It looks like there were only 500 of these machines allotted.

Thats what I almost expected - it unfortunately is a darning machine not a sewing machine. It has a typical darning foot and no stitch length adjuster and no feed dog for feeding the material.

Basically you cannot sew knife sheaths with it. And for sure no one ever has sew boot soles on it. The guy who told you this did not know what he was talking about - I´m sorrry!

Darning machines are for darning sacks or closing sacks.

No, I´m sorry. Question is how much demand is there nowadays for a machine like this.
