I am so stinkin' excited about the Davis...it'll come home with me tomorrow morning! :) I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to find needles for it...I *think* it's a VF-1, but not positive. The machine belonged to the woman's mother, and the woman I'm getting it from is 82 years old. She can remember "Sitting at mother's side as she sewed my clothes, and I so hated them! They were always too big, so I could grow into them."
I can't wait to talk to her more tomorrow...such a fun thing to buy a machine with HISTORY behind it! :)
Second good thing to happen today? I got another Picot Hemstitcher in the mail today. (snuck in a low bid on ebay and WON! :) ) It should fit my 99, so now have to get the 99 up and running! :lol:

Okay, I'm not very good at computers, but I figured something out; how to get the Singer serial registration numbers/information. I had saved the G series, here is the link http://www.singerco.com/uploads/asse...NGER_G_nos.pdf
Then just change the G to what ever series you are looking for (enter) it will pull it up. I tried the AA series and it worked. Let me know if it works for everyone. I hope it makes sense. :)

If you copy that into the http address bar (don't know if that is the correct terminology) Then just change the G to what ever series you are looking for (enter) it will pull it up. I tried the AA series and it worked. Let me know if it works for everyone. I hope it makes sense. :)

HELP!! I had posted this question but haven't seen any comments yet.
Also ... I now have the needle plate off and the bobbin case, but wondering how far do I disassemble the entire bobbin area? I don't think the user of the of the machine had EVER cleaned the bobbin area.

Congratulations Charlee on the Davis machine and the history that will come with it. We have one that looks just like that and came from the daughter of the orginial owner as well. It has a production number under the bobbin plate engraved into the machine # 528.Last pat. date is 1876. Look at your machine when you get it to see if there is a number engraved into it.
