dragged home the husky 27-20
 

[ATTACH=CONFIG]582278[/ATTACH]Ok you knew I couldn't resist. I snagged the Husqvarna Industrial.

minus a bobbin. It's dirty and still in the car, so no good shots of it yet. Their is a huge lack of info on this machine. I posted to H/V facebook page last night, but though maybe someone here may know what bobbin it takes. I hope it will run again.

Now, I don't own an industrial anything; but a friend of mine has a contract sewing company. He owns over 400 industrial machines, many are older vintage machines; and he has some older Huskvarnas. I wonder if there is a proprietary Huskvarna bobbin for your 27-20 or a more generic type such as an 'L' or an 'N' bobbin I have seen a number of times in his work area. He uses a lot of purchased, pre-wound generic bobbins for his work. I will ask him about your model to see if he has information.

I knew you couldn't resist. :)

I think the bobbins are the same as for a Singer 96. Is hook and race rotary? It's worth trying of you can't find any more detailed info on it.

Husqvarna made a few models under license from Singer along side their own designs, and yours might be a particular subversion of a Singer 96. Does yours have rotary race and hook, revers stitching and a round chromed stitch length knob? It needs further investigation ;- )

Ok more pics. Missing the bobbin race also. and I pulled out a neglected 27 as size example. Thanks all and especially John Thomas and Mickey 2.

Janey if you are here you can tell your John that his bracket won't fit this monster.

The added arm on the back side of the Husky is to raise the presserfoot with a knee.

I don't know if it will do reverse. Now I have to look up 96s. [ATTACH=CONFIG]582323[/ATTACH]

And yea it has a bit or rust, but not many dustbunnies. Stand is still at the store. I couldn't carry it the other day.

It looks very promising. I can't make sense of the bobbin case assembly, except for the missing bobbin case. It's large! I consider my 201 on the heavy side.

My internet is acting up today, preventing me from accessing sites on the web, but it looks like there's a similar machine to yours on ebay. Maybe you could contact the seller for info and comparsion of the hook and race assebly, as well as bobbins? I'm just thinking out loud really, but it crossed my mind when I found the pictures.

You have probably seen it, and this is a rather random attempt at a link, since it's not working properly at the moment.

I found this thread on the Quilting board (six posts down on the page). Manicmike hasn't posted the last two years, but he might reply to a pm and notice your current thread.

pm ed him. We'll see. Thanks for the hints.
