The serial number on the machine is 1592263. I haven't been able to find it online. Thanks so much for all of your help.

That is a much later machine. Takes Greist feet, just like the eariler ones. Try the ones you have an let us know.

I will see about taking some pictures of the feet that I have. It would be nice if the Greist feet would work. Does anyone know, can we use an air compressor to help get off some of the grime from under the machine? I don't want to harm it. I know I will need lots of help getting it clean, etc. The rust isn't real bad, but there is quite a bit of it. I am not handy with all of that. So it will probably set for some time, before I can get help with it.
Thanks for your kindness.

I dont believe, as a later machine, it is even differentiated as a stout. Regardless, my slim and stout take griest attachments. The issue is, does yours take the ones that came with the machine. nNo harm in trying.Whetger ir not they fit it issue 1. If they fit, then confirm the needle is centered and the foot fits correctly.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]599522[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]599523[/ATTACH] Ok, here are the pictures of my Greist attachments and the case with bobbins. Does anyone know what hear my machine was born?
Can anyone tell me what each of the feet are used for? I have a manual, but it doesn't show any of these feet. So maybe the manual is not the right one. Which of these feet does the bar attachment go to. I know what is for, because a lot of newer machines have this guide for sewing rows evenly.
Thanks to all who are helping me.

I am glad that the Greist attchments will work. There are a lot of Singer attachments too, that were bought with the machine, when my mother-in-law got it. So do those fit also?????

It needs a new belt. Where can I buy one? It needs cleaning and oiling also. One doesn't know how long it was stored. The underside of the machine is filthy.[ATTACH=CONFIG]599524[/ATTACH]

Steel wool in 0000 size can be used to remove rust from shiny metal parts. Metal polish can be used after that, if needed.

Sewing machine oil for every junction of metal parts that move, or should move, including behind the nose (face) plate, behind the rear inspection plate, and on the bottom. It may take more than one oiling to get things to move freely. Use old newspapers to protect your work surface.

When I work on machine, it will get at least three oilings over a week, lots of gentle hand turning, then I see what may need more attention.

Old old oil has a tendency to get dried out and adhere parts together that should move freely. Oil, heat from a hairdryer, gentle turning, more oil, repeat.

IF you take off the tension assembly, and I wouldn't until you know more about your machine, take pictures of every step, so it can be reassembled correctly. I will try out sewing before taking apart the tension. A fresh needle of the right size, too.

Sewing machine oil is a good choice to clean the exterior.

It's a fun project! Enjoy it, take your time, and you will be sew tickled 😊 to have restored this beautiful machine.

Interesting the manual doesn't show any of the feet. You might want to join at http://www.victoriansweatshop.com as there are some Standard manuals at http://www.victoriansweatshop.com/?f...6056&trail=100 however, they are for the treadle machines. When I searched for a manual, I didn't see any with the electric machine.

Are you sure you need a "belt" as many machines from that time period used a direct drive pulley rather than a belt? A picture of the motor and back of hand wheel might help.

Nice picture of the attachments - hopefully you can understand the table I did. I'm not sure about #14 as when I zoomed in on it, it looks a different. Maybe it has a number on it, or you could get a picture of just that one.

The Singer feet look to be for low shank machines and would probably fit many low shank machine. The straight stitch foot is for narrow feed dogs, and would probably work best with the older Singer machines and definitely would not want to zig zag with that foot on the machine.

Hope this helps.


Janey - Neat people never make the exciting discoveries I do.

Thank you so much!! Your info will help me a lot.
