I recently saw a posting that referenced someone that could help with old singer sewing machine parts and also how old the machine was. I failed to bookmark it and need it badly. I need a belt for my treadle machine and bought an old old portable singer at a garage sale yesterday for $5.00. Not a Featherweight - It is a hefty hefty one. Would appreciate your help. It has a wooden case cover and the machine is fastened into the base. It is pretty awsome.

Under the heading on this page you will see a "SEARCH" word. click on this and post your question. Hope this helps.

Check the Vintage Sewing Machine Shoppe...I think you're wanting Billy...

As for the treadle belt, you can get one on ebay for about $8....or you can do what I did and buy a leather boot lace! ;)

Need the serial number off of the Singer to help you identify it... (and we LOVE pictures!!)

Here's a website that can help you date your Singer.

As for parts, check with Billy (Lostn51). He might be able to help you.

Checked out the singer site - thanks for the info. There were only 300 produced in 1952 at Elizabeth, NJ. I'm new at this - how do I contact Billy (Lostn51)?? Thanks Again.

Here is a link to his profile. Just click on 'send PM'.

I am here!! I went to Charlotte for the race this weekend and just got home last night and was worn out. I sent you a PM so as soon as I get the serial # I can figure everything out for you. :D

Congratulations on the machine!!

Billy

I looked at my treadle machine - It needs a belt - maybe you could help me out there also. And discovered that it is missing the slide piece that covers the bobbin area. Maybe you have that also. Her serial # is AC566579. Thanks a bunch.

That should be an easy peasy thing to get :) Good luck with the treadle machine and happy stitching! :)

Your treadle is a 66, made March 20th 1929 , 35,000 were made. AC566579 :)
