Ok I think I have the back clamp versus the side clamp figured out on our 66's!
Actually Billy had started figuring it out on page 1 of this forum! He said that the 66-1 and 3 were back clamps and the 66-2 was a side clamp. I couldn't find information on a 66-2? Here goes - the 66 spanned 1902 to 1956: The 66-1 with the Egyptian? was made from 1902 - 1906 and the Scroll (red - must be the redeye?) from 1906 - 1923 was a back clamp. These were treadles with back clamping feet. The 66-3 a HC also back clamping 66-4 from 1923 - ? side clamping treadle 66-5 HC - side clamping 66-6 from 1921 - 31 side clamping - electric 66-8 side clamping 66-13 side clamping 1920 - ? 66-14 thru 66-24 side clamping with reverse I found this on this site of ISMACS! http://www.ismacs.net/singer_sewing_...sses-1-99.html Nancy |
Darcene, I love my 501a Rocketeer! I have gotten most of the cams off of e-bay along with a buttonhole attachment and a monogrammer! So much fun!
Nancy Sorry mine is the 503a! Still, I love that style of machine for decorative stitches and monogramming.![/quote] Nancy, I messed up and am I ever blushing....my new (to me) machine is a 500a...sometimes my fingers type faster than my brain can work. |
I have a FW that runs great BUT about half the time it "stalls" when I beginsewing.I have to reach over and turn the flywheel then it sews normally.
Is there an adjustment I can make? |

MY body HATES the time change. It always takes me about a week to get back my body rhythm. For the meantime, I am really draggy.

Is there an adjustment I can make? My white FW does the same thing, I just start with the handwheel - actually my Mother's Pfaff 130 (a very powerful machine) does the same thing! I start it with the handwheel also! Nancy |

"There's a number pressed in the metal on the bottom front of the machine (when you tilt it back from the carrying case base) which I believe is the serial number. It is 507098. My guess is that it's from the 1940's or '50's. Note: *** Dh found another number also A107-3 Other writing reads: Distributed by Necchi Elna Sewing Machine Sales USA *** Arm says Miracle on it.
