Well, way off topic, but DH and I led a committee at our church to put on a car & cycle show here yesterday with proceeds going to the local veterans' organizations, and our Soldiers Angels chapter at church, and a high school ROTC. It was great!! People are sure a blessing...51 paid registrations, plus we got so much recognition from the local media. Since the cars that came were mostly Vintage, I figured you all would be interested! :)

mpeters1200,
That bobbin case looks like the same one for my White MR77. |

serial #1x21924...don't know how to date her. she runs just needs oiling. I dated mine by going to: http://community.webshots.com/user/arachnesobsession Lots of great information there on White machines. Go to the "serial numbers/dating list," and the ones for the 1x are on the 2nd page. There are also manuals there if you don't have one. Mechanically, I thought it was pretty easy to work on. The only tricky part was the tension fits on a certain way...take off the dial, and you take off the whole mechanism. Looks like yours dates to 1930. :) Enjoy it! |

Here's the rest.
Bobbin case pictures. After a little fiddling, the case fits right inside. Wow is it narrow! http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z...obbincase1.jpg http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z...obbincase2.jpg http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z...obbincase3.jpg http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z...obbincase4.jpg Serial plate http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z...s/FWserial.jpg Here's pictures of the white, grainy powdery stuff. http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z...nfootpedal.jpg http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z...footpedal2.jpg |
I just finished cleaning cleaning my 1916 new home and 1915 white rotary.
I had to take that tension off to clean, I wish I had know about the tension. I don’t get the threading of that white. It will be next summer before I can work on the cabinet, it’s to cold now. Does someone have a motor I can put on the white till I can get a piece welded for the treadle support? It looks so nice but I can’t even try to sew the way it is now. I’ll have to look for some boxes like Glenn’s now, he has started a whole new thing. Nice work Glenn. Phyllis nm |

I will try to put up some pics on threading later today when I get a break. What problems were you having with the tension?

Oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh......I had some time tonight and pulled out mom's FW. I think I found the bobbin case, though I can't figure out how it got in it's hiding place in the first place. I'm uploading all the pics to photobucket right now. I took a ton of pics. There seems to be some white powdery substance on the footpedal that transferred to the cord and some of it fell on the bed.
Here are all the particular numbers. The serial number was on the bottom of the machine. It's in a completely different place than my 66. There's also a serial number on the bobbin case and the fold down bed thing. Is that normal? From the machine: AH194901 From the bobbin case simanco usa 45750 bottom of fold down part: simanco 45713 I'll post pics before I go to bed. I have to get ready to get the kiddos off to bed. The spindle the thread sits on swings wildly off the machine. I see a whole for another screw, but nothing on the swinging thing itself indicating it needs another screw. I think it's broken. All kinds of black, greasy looking gritty stuff in there. Somehow, I don't think she's ready to sew yet. It's entirely my fault for putting her in the garage. I hope I didn't ruin her. Nancy |
