A few weeks ago I purchased a Singer cabinet for a 201 machine with only three of the original hinges to the table top. Someone had stuck a really ugly hardware store hinge on it. Does anyone have an original Singer hinge with the rounded ends with screws they would be willing to sell me. I'm unable to locate one locally.

There are a few listings on ebay. Rockler carries these https://www.rockler.com/single-pin-hinge-select-option

Rockler has oversold their stock...so not currently available.

Thank you for the tip about Ebay (almost never look there)… I was able to find a set there for under $15 with shipping. Should arrive by Saturday!

Doesn't it feel really great when you find what you are looking for. Before you install your new hinge you may want to put a wood filler in the holes. From the picture it looks like the ugly hinge has a different size screw and it may have stripped the wood. Check it out closely.

I just saw this thread I think I have some hinges some where. But you have a better chance of getting yours before I find mine lol.
