Need info ref: Singer 201
Yep, need info about a Singer 201.
It's black weights a metric ton has the potted motor according to the serial number (AK 542427) was allotted 6-26-51 it's got the centennial badge Now, what series is it? 201-2 or???? Joe |
Yep 201-2 (most likely....I don't know much about the other subs)
I have a Centennial 201-2. Nice, quiet machine. Great stitches. Large harp, easy to get quilt bulk thru. I got a deal on mine, paid $15 at a thrift store because it didn't have a power cord. Paid $10 for that on ebay. |

You got a smokin deal. Joe |
Joe,
Here's the info for the 201s 201-1 - treadle 201-2 - potted motor machine 201-3 - solid hand wheel with external belt driven motor 201-4 - hand crank More information on 201s can be found at Sew-Classic Blog. |
My 201 is a 201-3 with the external motor. They seem to have been mainly a Canadian machine and few seem to show up in the USA. On the other hand, I rarely see the 201-2 machine with the potted motor in Canada although Singer made far more of them. My 201 is such a powerful smooth stitcher. It never hesitates with several layers of denim or veers off if encounters thicker fabric seam intersections.
|
Then 201-2 it is. Thanks for the clarification.

go check out rain's sight http://vssmb.blogspot.com/ He has a ton of info on the 201s he is also a QB member in good standing.

My 201 was an original hand crank machine, now its powered by treadle.

You got a smokin deal. Joe Monica, Thanks!! I *think* I remember reading this before, but wasn't recalling it! |
I already do. It's so much nicer than just about any of the other machines we have I'm amazed. Need to find room to set it up sew we can use it.
