Riccar 1010 Japanese Sewing Machine
 

Hello.

Recently, I bought a Riccar 1010 Sewing machine.
Have anyone this model?

I have a Riccar around 1970. I have no idea what model it was though.

Hello Patrice. Thanks. :)
Do you have photos of your sewing machine?

I sure don't. I haven't had that machine for better than 30 years

I don't have one. If you have a photo, it might help find another owner.

Also, what information are you looking for?

Thanks for your replies.
1.My sewing machine make the stitches very well, but I put the reverse button "in 0" and the machine continue sewing little stitches (I don't know if this is normal).

The big button in the center of that knob is your reverse, you just push it in. The dial around it with the numbers are your stitch length. Setting it to zero the machine should stitch in place without feeding the fabric.

Sorry, this is the complete message:

Thanks for your replies!

2. When I bought my machine, the seller didn't have the cams, so I bought the cams online and now I'm very anxious to know if these cams will work with my sewing machine.

3. If anyone knows about an internet site where I may find info about how to paint my sewing machine, It'll be very useful.

In the next links, you'll see my sewing machine and the cams that I bought.
Also, if I choose the biggets stitch lenght, my Sewing machine turns very noisy.


Greetings,

Bryan B,
Oh my your machine has had a hard life. I'm surprised that it still sews.
Sharon W.

Hehehe! Yes! I'm surprised too. I'm very anxious to see this machine sewing again. :)

There are people over on the Victorian Sweatshop forum that have painted machines and may be able to give you good tips.
Cams are always a crapshoot unless you already know for sure that the ones you buy are for your machine. Even different machines from the same manufacturer will sometimes use different styles of cams.
Like I said before, the numbers around the reverse button are for your forward stitch length, nothing to do with reverse. Whatever your forward stitch length is set at, that's what the stitches should do when you push the reverse button.

Thanks Cari, have a nice day.

I wrote this yesterday, but neglected to hit "post", so this is abbreviated. Do a search on here, and you'll find a thread on painting a machine. Of course, there are professionals who will do it differently, but I assume you're an amateur. Basically, you take off everything you can to keep all the chemicals off parts you do not intend to paint. Then you strip the paint with a chemical, fill any low spots with bondo (sp?), sand, apply primer and then paint, usually three or four coats, sanding in between if you want a really nice finish. Then clear-coat or wax. (Amateurs usually use spray cans of auto paint from the autozone and the like.)

I have an old one I started stripping, but decided it was not a job I wanted to do. If I ever go back to it, I'll finish prepping it. I have a neighbor who works in an auto body shop. I'll get him to paint it for me.
