jonnyharris85 Report post Posted February 13, 2022 I rescued this beautiful machine from rusting in a shed but I can't find anything about its specific model online. Its missing the bobbin and its housing? It needs a lot of work removing rust and getting everything moving again but worth it in the end. Also has anyone any idea how rare this machine is?

Constabulary Report post Posted February 13, 2022 (edited) I once restored the short arm version of your machine (kind of) - a 133K3. Not exactly the same in short but very close as it seems. Pictures here may give you and idea what parts are missing on your machine: Oh - BTW - just yesterday some one else posted his 133K darning machine - he probably would sell you some parts (guessing) - check this: Furthermore College Sewing in the UK has a good range of parts for the 133K / 132K but seems they have a website problem.

jonnyharris85 Report post Posted February 13, 2022 @Constabulary I should have just messaged you directly, thank you so much for that info. I think the parts missing are circled in the photo. I will check that website soon. It would be a shame to break up a full machine for parts , darning or not. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Constabulary Report post Posted February 13, 2022 (edited) Don´t know where you come from but beside College Sewing Trojan Sewing UK has parts too: https://www.trojansewing.co.uk/product-category/industrial-sewing-machine-spare-parts/singer-industrial-sewing-machine-parts/singer-132-k-industrial-sewing-machie-parts/ You need the top and main tension units some thread guides too and a bobbin winder. Just what I notice from the picture. BTW - the Seiko SK-8 and Mitsubushi DY-253 share a lot of parts with the Singer 132K / 133K machines - just as a hint when looking for parts. Once you have completed it you may need timing values for the needle-hook timing - you find a good manual for the 132K / Seiko SK-8 here in the 1st post (values are the same as for the 133K´s) Edited February 13, 2022 by Constabulary Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, I proof-read it after having seen it posted. 3 hours ago, jonnyharris85 said: What was your post? Basically, I wrote that the unit is missing more parts than just the shuttle hook and bobbin and provided a Youtube link for reference.

Constabulary Report post Posted February 14, 2022 (edited) That indeed is interesting.... Well its an SV machine - very little to nothing is known about certain SV models, some are predecessors of later standard machines and some are kinda prototype or made for a special customer application.... no one really knows em all. Maybe yours had tension units positioned somewhere else. Right - no slot for the take up lever - very odd. Can you post a picture of what is behind the face plate please. EDIT: Just a guess - no hook, no tension units, no take up lever - was this machine for what ever reason meant for just punching holes into... what ever????

Constabulary Report post Posted February 14, 2022 (edited) I only can imagine a "hole puncher" - but don´t ask me for what purpose. I really have no clue. Is there a drive shaft for mounting the hook? Edited February 14, 2022 by Constabulary Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jonnyharris85 Report post Posted February 14, 2022 I have ordered a parts list online for 133ks but I'm wondering why model has no mention online. I'm going to email the museum in Scotland to see if they have any notion. I might have to make the holes myself for tension discs. I don't know but I will keep you posted.

Constabulary Report post Posted February 14, 2022 (edited) sorry - I was on the wrong track with my SV machines statement I had the thread with the 133K darning machine in mind Looking forward to what the Singer museum will say...

shoepatcher Report post Posted February 16, 2022 That machine is rare. It is a long arm 133K. You might contact Robert Collier for parts at Collier Equipment in Alabama. glenn Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CowboyBob Report post Posted February 16, 2022 (edited) It's a hole puncher,you have to drill a hole to insert the lower tension & drill & tap a hole for the upper tension.Take-up lever is missing too.Parts for this if you can find them will be expensive.
