Hi,
I'm new, and I'm hoping to pick some brains (if I may). I recently bought a Singer 533 Stylist, mostly fixed it, and then bought a new machine instead of getting the Singer 100%. I can't for the life of me find anything about the new one.
It's branded as a Premier Model 5700. From what I have found it's probably some form of Singer clone, it probably takes Singer/Pfaff parts, there are potentially thousands of 'badges' from a few manufacturers that are essentially the same machine, and there aren't any good records of anything that came out of Japan. It is currently sticking (motor runs fine when the mechanism is disengaged) and missing part of the tensioner, the bobbin winder, and the presser foot. It's currently soaking in oil, but I'd like to find a manual to make sure I've hit all of the oiling points, make sure the dials are in the 'correct' place, and then a place to source some parts.
I've seen the 'same' looking machine labeled as a Morse 5700 and a Dressmaker 5700, but the manuals I've found for those cost more than I paid for the machine, and I'd rather not pay for something unless I'm sure it's right. It looks exactly like the Morse seen on this
manual. Kind of in pieces right now so I haven't taken any pictures.
I'm hoping to find what machine this was cloned from (if it is indeed a clone) so I can start fixing it up. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.
