I am so happy to read your comments here. My only non-Singer oldie is called a "Honeymoon". I understand that they were made by the Davis Company, but can't confirm this. I am still looking to learn its age. I gather from various snippets that Davis Co. was maybe sold to ??? , then I find "Honeymoon" seems to be associated with New Home and also, the name Minnesota. I am grateful for any info (resources) that will lead me to know more. Thank you

Does anyone know about the STANDARD company sewing machines? I was just given one, and I am unable to even find a picture of it online anywhere. I have searched for days. It has an eagle with a tire around in on the bed of the machine. It is very plain looking, no fancy designs. I have tried to post pictures, but and error message says the site is unavailable. I know all about the history of the company and that Singer bought them out, but haven't found anything about my machine. The STANDARD name is in large letters on the body of the machine front.

I've read through many of these threads and found some very good information, thank you.
I would like to know if anyone knows of a site that offers the old tensioners complete for the HA1 machines.
The closest thing I have found is for the Singer 15-91 but they look to be backwards, meaning the spring seems to come out on the left where the HA1's that I have come out on the right side.
Thank You
Mark
terabob,
I've seen plenty of those on sewing parts online, you may have to do a little research to find the right one.
Like those colors on that Morse

I'd like a couple new complete.
If you were talking to terabob, I apologize.

Can’t you just rebuild the existing? I do them routinely. The springs are available on line. This should be a tutorial I made Taming the 15 clone tension... well maybe.....
Feel free to ask questions or to pm.
