Could I please have help identifying this singer?
I think I know what it is. |
Some one on the board will let you know but that someone isn't me. Looks pretty good condition! Maybe if you can find the model number or a serial number then google it.
|
Serial number is helpful -you can look it up on ISMACS and it will tell you what model machine the number was allocated to.
However, it looks like a 201 without the potted motor and the front light. I have found pictures of the same looking machine, and they say it's a 201K - so maybe the European model was a bit different the the US model. |

Rather, the casting in the machine is called the boss. the plate is just a spool pin plate, I think.

The serial number is EE650513- lists it as. 201K
macybaby when say a 201 without a potted motor is that a bad thing? Should all 201's have a potted motor. I need to read more about them. :) thank you! |
Is it a 201-3?
|
Did you buy it? The potted motor has a gear instead of a belt. The downside is that they are more difficult to replace because no one makes them anymore.

The 201-3 is still a good machine, but the 201-2, with the potted motor, is just too cool. |
Nothing wrong with an external motor instead of the potted motor. It's just like the 15-90 and 15-91, same basic machine except the motor drive - one is external belt, the other is potted with gears. It is just an option but I couldn't remember what the last part of the number was to designate external motor.
it's the lack of a front light that was confusing . . . |
