Hello! I was hoping someone might have advice on finding bobbin assembly parts for an 1817 Singer 12 I lucked into and am really looking forward to restoring.


Aside from the metal outer bit the entire inside of the bobbin winder is missing. She'll be a beauty even without it, but I'm really hoping I can restore her to her full glory.


(She already turns super quiet, and she's got no rust at all! Such an exciting project.)

There were at least two bobbin winders on these. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vhjInkVYnS4 shows a simple one. and BTW Singer got started in 1851 so you might want to re-think your date. Welcome aboard. My 12 (1863?) is hiding 50 miles away right now.

Oh dang, I meant 1871. What a dumb typo! Thanks for replying, I had it written down in my notes about the machine and just copied it without thinking. Really should have caught that one myself.

For parts for this, I'd be checking out either Helen Howe or Alex Askaroff
