Ok what you have to do to get your serial number is place the machine on it's side and unscrew the base....remove it and you'll see the number at the top on a flat surface.

The numbers you are referencing right now are the part number for the motor.

You will also get an opportunity to clean that little sucker out too.... :D

Hope that helps,

Linda D.

Its a 192K with only 50,000 machines allotted for all models that run in January 22 1960. All of those machines are 3/4 sized machines and all are very good machines to have. It a shame that it didnt come with a cabinet those are not the easiest to find.

But you did get a wonderful deal on your new machine and it looks really nice!!

This is a 185 that I am working on now, yes its a complete basket case and it took a cutting torch and a 3lb hammer to take it apart. But it will get a complete repaint and all new parts inside and will be just like a new machine before its over with.

Well, that looks rough, but still so beautiful! So, you can still get all the guts for these machines? I have a broken part in my old treadle. My DH was trying to get it unstuck, and it broke.

Love your new machine.. and just LOVE the price you paid!! WOW!!!

That is so awesome. I'm glad it was still there when you went back. It was meant to be. Here's a toast to a lot of happy sewing on your new machine. :D :D :D

I was reading your other post in GCC hoping that it was still there :lol:
She is a beauty for sure!!! I bet you and your DGD have many wonderful memories while sewing together now :D :D :D

I have 11 sewing machines all but 3 are singers, old machines. I have 3 1928's, a red eye, 2 featherweights, a mending machine and a long arm mchine. I also have a Precision, which was given to me by a friend that owned a thrift store. I would go back quickly and buy that old machne for the new ones are plastic and won't last long. My featherweight is the only one that I sew on and I love it.
