I went to a garage sale this morning with 'antique machines'. Boy, was she right! Two little New Homes that had to be pre 1900. They looked like they had been rode hard and put away wet. $75 and $50. I'm glad I went, but I'm glad I came away empty handed.

check out page 8 or 9 in the operator manual http://www.singer-featherweight.com/...es/singfea.pdf Figure 12 look at B2 and A2 Then on the next page there is a "CAUTION: If the throat plate is removed for cleaning the stitch forming mechanism, etc., make certain when replacing the throat plate that the position finger (A2) enters the notch (B2) of the position plate attached to the under side of the throat plate." those old manuals have a lot of info - it might pay to check in there I am having the same problem and couldn't tell from the tiny diagrams in the original manual that came with my FW. Sewwww, I have printed it out and am going to try it after we eat dinner here pretty soon. I like that the online manual shows the diagram much larger and also, that I can go on to the computer if it isn't big enough and increase the percentage size of the text by clicking on (in the lower right hand corner of my screen) and increase the percentage size even larger. Maybe you and I will both be succcessful using this online manual. Let me know how it works for you. :-D I have no diagram of it all apart. If I did I wouldn't have hesitated to take it apart. All my picks show it all together. The only thing they've taken apart and shown pics of is the tension apparatus. I'm going to attack this FW myself with your help! Thank you so much! (Of course, I have to wait until I've done hubby's bidding and mowed the grass. UGH! Doesn't he know I have important things to take care of??? LOL! |

I compared the decals to my Sphinx and they are the same decal just tinted differently. I previously wondered if it could be like the Brown Lotus - paint color tint issue making it more rare??? Does anyone have any ideas? SN# C7770783 which indicates that it was manufactured in Prussia Germany - but the records have been lost. Judy Nancy Judy |

Are there partial blackside machines? My 15 has the black tensioner ,stitch regulator and the handwheel is all black. the face plate and bobbin cover are chrome.. I think. Would this be considered a blackside? Anne
