Does anyone know which machine this is? The Craigslist pictures are pretty terrible.

Looks like a tension on the side and says Singer so it should be a Singer 15.

Beats me!!!!!!
|
It is a cylinder arm industrial Singer
|
Thank you all for the replies. I noticed that it was an Industrial cylinder model. I was unable to match It up with any pictures online. This is at a nearby flea market and I am wondering if it is worth my time to go look at it after work :)
|
it the price is reasonable I'D be all over it. (what area do you work in.... hehe)
|
Looks like it's missing parts. Are you going to be able to find them?
|
I'm guessing it may be a 17-28 which would be fun for me. Although since I got my Singer stocking darner and tried it out on a 301 that seemed to work pretty well. I'm basing that on http://www.sil.si.edu/DigitalCollect...es/image54.htm I think there is a parts list here http://parts.singerco.com/IPpartCharts/17-1_30.pdf (too large file on dial-up) I couldn't find an instruction manual.
From the image at sil.si.edu it looks like the bobbin winder may swing up from the pillar. I hope you checked it out, and/or got more pictures. Would be fun to see. Janey - Neat people never make the exciting discoveries I do. |
It needs a better picture. It is industrial. Is it a walking foot or regular. How much are they wanting for it? What kind of condition? Are pieces missing? Can they show you how to use it? Motor? Is the presser foot lifter there? Bobbin winder? What condition is the table. Does it sit in an oil pan? Manuals can be found on ISMACS.

Well, I went and bought it. Turns out it's a Singer 17-33. It came as a package deal with a 1910 red eye and tons of attachments, and a treadle coffin lid.
The 17-33 has a working motor. There is an issue with the pedal or the plug for the pedal. There is a plug that comes out of the motor and plugs into a socket on the pedal wire. One socket says "light" which has constant power and the other says "motor" which relies on the pedal to complete the circuit. When you plug the motor into the light plug, the motor fires right up. I want to clean and oil it over the next few days. Here are some pictures of everything I got in this flickr album: https://flic.kr/s/aHskw696rm |
