[ATTACH=CONFIG]581194[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]581195[/ATTACH]so far I have avoided Industrail machines, but I do like challenges. I had to step over stuff in a shop just to get pictures of this. I couldn't even find a picture of another one. Where the heck can I put this one? Do these bases break down? Yea, I know the motor/clutch is missing.

Yes, you're crazy. You're a sewing machine nut.

Wonder how much you'd have to put into it to get it working?

I can't even get close enough to touch it in this shop. but I told a friend aobut a Tin Lizzy LA there and she snagged it.

Is that machine a Singer 31 clone? I have a Consew 30 (Japanese) that is too, but I don't have a motor or table for it yet. I'm thinking about one of those $100 servo motors from Amazon.

What is the throat space size? If it was at least 9 inches I'd be fixing it up and using it to quilt small quilts and table runners on. Bet it sews like a dream.

It does look very similar to a 13-15. I saw a youtube last night of a guy treadling one ( Singer) . It is 50 miles away but yes, I am thinking it's throat is longer than 9". I'll probably have to disassemble the base just to get it out of the door.

I can tell you these machines are so heavy it takes 2 big men to carry them. It needs a motor[2 or 3 hundred], a belt,
and some metal pieces to go from the foot to the motor. It may have a switch on it, can't see it. I can see it has a
knee pad to raise the needle and foot. And an electric cord

Thanks barny for a trained eye. And your sharing.
