And technically, they never thought these machines would still be in use 60 years later. ;)

Joe,
This is like the machine I just got last week that is missing the siding, bobbin plate. Which one fits this machine? Having trouble finding one. Also need the bobbin carrier. I know, dumb for buying it in this condition, but it was pretty. Donna |
I meant the square plate, not the needle plate.

Donna, sew-classic sells the plates
you mean the part in the shuttle that the bobbin and bobbin case ride on or the bobbin case? |

The only time grease is usually needed on a non-Singer machine is if it has gears. The motors don't take grease, like Joe said. The "ports" you're seeing on the motor are actually rivets that hold that plate on. Some rivets are solid, some are open in the middle. These are the latter. They don't receive oil. Where it will land on this motor would be potentially bad.

Thank you all for your replies! It's good to know I'm on the right track.

No, you don't think so? I thought perhaps they built them to last in those days.

I think they were built to last but I really don't think that most companies thought: "This will be passed down to 2 - 3 generations."

Some of the machines I have must have gone through 3 or 4 generations. Then ones I like best are the ones that are truly used and used.
