Hi- Everyone
Many of us enjoy working with and collecting vintage machines-Singer is one of the few who has had pretty accurate records in the past. ( I say pretty accurate because we currectly have a Singer 15k which is a 15-91 serial numbered in Scotland but decaled in Canada) listed on ebay that does not match the info on the Singer site nor does Singer know why after contacting them)
The reason I bring up the topic of serial number searches is many of us on the board use the serial number search on the Singer site to clarify date of make, model, location of manufacturing etc. or both ourselves and to help others. Whether we are looking to clarify model for parts, manuals, appraisals, etc that info has proved invaluable to many of us.
There have been modifications to thier info on going for a while now but now they have completely eliminated the break out of serial numbers by model - which leave a big gap in which machine do you really have.
Singer needs to hear from all if us- just like Walmart bringing back fabric departments- it's not the fact they got one call but the volume of calls that got them to return the fabric department- so as many as possible contact Singer and insist they bring back the serial number info:
