Joe,
The cam stack is replaced just as removed. No indexing just drop into place , you might need to rock it back and forth slightly to seat it. Cathy QUOTE=J Miller;5665938]Can somebody answer me a question or direct me to a Singer 500 service manual source other than the Singer site. I can't get on that tonight for some reason. The cam stack has what appears to be a timing mark on the top. But it was covered with gunk and I didn't see it until I cleaned it off. It might not be a timing mark at all but I'm getting it back together after a thorough cleaning and this is holding me back. Joe[/QUOTE] |

I just came upon this thread and Have read several of the posts. I am wondering do you all really quilt on the old sewing machines? Or do you purchase them to restore and sit around the house...I think they are beautiful....Can you post pictures of quilts that you have made....

I've had them in and out - no big deal - I didn't know if there was a marking or timing on them or not. I just kind of figured my own way of putting in just the way they come out - but I've wondered about what was right and how do you know about timing them. |
Miriam,
Taking the cam-stack out doesn't change the timing on this series. Cathy [/QUOTE]So it doesn't matter what way the cam stack goes?

there is actually a sticky thread of quilt photos. Most of us use vintage machines, varying from all-the-time to occasionally. And we start getting selective- the 201 for piecing, the 15 for FMQ, etc.

Nancy my wife said it reminded her of the Singer 28 HC I have. I am sure this is a badged machine.

Glenn,
I'm a little late to the party. This is one beautiful machine. According the Needlebar it is a New Home model "P". The picture that they have is listed a 1917 version. They said it was imported into England during or after WW1 when German machines weren't being imported. Cathy
