So I have an old Singer - okay one of several. Her serial # is C5056816. She lives in a lovely bentwood, box and is knee press operated. According to Singer, those records were lost. How/where do I find out info about this baby?

Nancy I'm not really good at sitting still myself, but I'm also probably ADD (my kids are all diagnosed; I see no reason for an official diagnosis at my age), so I never really FINISH anything. It doesn't help that the @#$% phone keeps ringing. Anyone else hate the telephone?? |

Is there an adjustment I can make? Have you cleaned,oiled and greased your FW? The motor needs grease in the 2 grease holes. Is the motor belt in good shape? Sharon W. in Texas |
Nancy;
Pretty machine. Really like the way she looks and her decals. |
My friend was here for 2 days and she brought her elderly FW with her, its about a 1936.
The lady she bought it from said that her engineer son had cleaned and oiled it. OMG The only thing he did was glop lots of black grease on the top & bottom gears. He didn't clean out the lint or oil anything, he did tighten all the screws and the handwheel clutch way too much and used a screw driver that was too big. grrrr! Some people should never be allowed to "service" a sewing machine ever!! :x I'd never serviced a FW that had no grease left in the motor at all. I gave the sweet FW lots of TLC and she sews very well now; purrs just like she should. |
Tammy what we were told when Kathie and I took the FW class was that the Handwheel was just that a Handwheel - we should be starting the FW with that handwheel.
Thanks for the information' now I won't worry! |
