    Default Singer 626 metal gear Identification

    All;

    Do all Singer model 626s have metal gears or were some manufactured with other materials?

    If some where made without, what should I ask the seller to check if I want an all metal gear machine?

    Thanks

    Keith

    I don't think I've welcomed you aboard yet. Welcome!
    The only way I know to be certain is to remove the top and bottom covers and look. I think it's just one screw for the top.
    Plastic replacement gears are available and are fairly reasonably priced so plastic gears aren't the end of the world.

    Thumbs up

    Thanks Rodney, I think I'll just keep waiting until one turns up "locally" That way I can inspect it personally.
    I appreciate the welcome, and love the Tag line. Especially the "annoyance" part!
