Antique Folded
Where can I find information on antique Singer Sewing Motors?
I have an antique machine I inherited from my grandmother. I don’t know anything about them. This machine is part of a table and it folds into and out of the table. Pretty cool. It has a metal plate that identifies it as Catalog B.U.7-B. Motor No.: 4315542. I believe the serial number is: AC258194. Any information on this machine would be appreciated.
You have one of a batch of 35000 Singer model 66 machines commissioned on 31 July 1928, according to
http://www.singerco.com/pdf/SINGER_AC_nos.pdf
Here’s a copy of the manual, in case you don’t have one:
They take the commonly available 15×1 (aka 130/705H) needles that are available everywhere, and “class 66 bobbins” (named for this machine).
http://www.a1sewingmachine.com/manuals/66.pdf
Belts and bobbin winder wheels and bulbs are still available, and I wouldn’t be surprised to hear motors were, too. A nice, sturdy straight stitcher that has not much sales value, but is a very nice part of your family history, and will probably keep sewing well into the next century if kept oiled and clean and dry.
Enjoy using it! It’s got a lot of nice tricks it’s capable of, especially if your grandmother bought some attachments.
The only caution I have on these old electric machines is to make sure the electrical system is in good shape. There are ways to turn it into a handcrank machine if the electrical system is iffy and you don’t have an electrical engineer at your beck and call.
