singer treadle missing part
 

when i moved the last time, the movers dropped and lost the bobbin cover plate. does anyone know where i can get a replacement and how much i might expect to pay. i want to sell my treadle but don't think it'll sell without the plate... do you think that's correct?

Hi Nancy,

Which model Singer do you have?

i'll have to look it up in the morning, too tired now

it looks like the serial number is G0943512. here are pictures of the bobbin area and the serial number

any information you can give me would be most appreciated

That is a model 66. Models 66 and 99 use interchangeable slide plates.

sewclassic.com has what you need.

thanks. when i go there, i can only find the model number like 158.xxx or 15-xxx. do you know the link to the singer site that i can look up the serial number?

Make sure, when you go the the "G" list, that you include the "zero" after the "G". AKA, your "G" number is 0943512 not 943512. Your number is very near the end of the G list (July 8, 1924).

Here is the slide plate you need:

and here is how you install the slide plate: http://www.sew2go.com/sewtechpdf/Singer99slideplate.pdf

thanks ever so much Mom3. Your help is much appreciated. The plate is much less expensive than I imagined :)

Nancy,

If the slide plate is the only thing you are ordering, you might also consider ordering a replacement slide plate spring for $2.59: http://shop.sew-classic.com/Singer-6...ring-32570.htm

Then, if you want to dress it up a bit, the spool pin felts add a nice touch for $.25 ea.: http://shop.sew-classic.com/Spool-Pi...hick-8879T.htm
