I just acquired a Singer treadle machine that one of my sisters owned and I'm curious about age of the machine and if parts are available. It has the plate missing that covers the shuttle compartment and also a plate on the back that gives access for service and cleaning (should be attached with a small screw and normally would slide open). She passed away more than 10 years ago and one of my younger sisters had bought it from her children, she decided to clean house and I couldn't bear to see it go to strangers! Thanks for any help you can offer! Delia

The beauty of Singers is that parts are available.

Thanks DKuehn for the info, it is most sincerely appreciated! I hope that I can get it sewing, seems that all parts in working order, just oiled it up and will give it a thorough cleaning tomorrow.

Sorry, I was posting from my phone earlier and it's difficult to formulate a helpful post.

This web page will let you look up these old Singers by their serial number.

Yours is at the bottom of this page where they start the 7 digit serial numbers that begin with 0.

I have purchased several plates from Jenny at Sew-Classic.com. You could try their web site first, and if there are doubts, call Jenny at the number listed there. She is very helpful. I get all my repair/restoration parts from her because the price and service is so good. I have no other affiliation with them, other than liking their products and service. They ship quickly.

I have located the throat plates and bobbins that I need for the #127, but I haven't yet located the arm side plate and thumb screw that are missing from the back of the machine. I'll keep hunting but if anyone has knowledge of availability of these two items, please let me know. Thanks for the great comfort I find in the great resources that you all provide here!

Tessagin, I'm with you on that! the prices that folks ask for somethings are just outrageous. I gave my sister $75 for this one and I was hopeful that it would be in better shape than it is, but it will be in working order after oiling and cleaning and with a belt, throat plate, and bobbin. I don't consider that to be too much considering it is a sentimental piece because it once belonged to my older sister.
