Is my 221 different?
Was looking at shopgoodwill and saw this: http://www.shopgoodwill.com/viewItem...temID=13656542 with this description: This vintage 1950’s Singer Sewing Machine Model 678 3B has a Singer Sewing Motor Cat. 3-120 and uses 110-120Volts 0.4 Amp. 25-75 cycles A.C. & D.C. The Singer Sewing Motor Controller uses 95-145 Volts 0.7 Amperes and is part # 194584. This is what I have. There is also one on Ebay that also mentions this motor. Is there something different I'm missing or do all 221's have this motor?

The only Featherweight I have seen in person had a 0.4 amp motor. The controller may be able to handle 0.7 amps, though.
Nice of them to include all of that Kenmore stuff as shown in the second picture. That's worth $30-$40 alone. |
0.4 Amps on the original singer motors for the featherweight. I wouldn't put on anything stronger personally.

Thx for your responses. Mine is the 0.4 amp. I was curious as to why they would highlight the Cat 3-120 motor. Is that standard for a 221 or something special?

No, they just don't know what information is useful so they put it all in.

I just had a look at the motor on my 222K and it has a 1.0 amp motor. I wonder if that's standard for a 222?
Never thought to look at it before! |
