Well, I've been out spending money again... I found a Phoenix. This machine is pretty cool - made in Germany - 1950s
it has a cam stack - I find it similar to the Singer 319 in some ways. I took pics but I don't know if they will post. [ATTACH=CONFIG]373728[/ATTACH] and [ATTACH=CONFIG]373729[/ATTACH] The bobbin has a flip down cover the case and bobbin ride in. Whole area is full of lint. There is a lever on the back to push as the lever for the disks is pushed to select design stitches There is no manual but I found a sales brochure in wonderful condition. Nancy |
~sneaking in to say "HI!!"~ :) Busy, busy...but wanted to stop in and see how everyone is doing!
Mizkaki! It's so good to see you posting again...and it's good to see the new folks too! Miriam and Glenn, are you two keeping everyone in line? :D Elections are almost done (YAY!!!), and I'll be able to spend more time on the board, and hopefully more time quilting! The spousal unit already gave me one of my gifts....he got me two fat quarter bundles of Timeless Treasure's "Vivienne" line...not only really pretty fabrics, but "Vivienne" (exact spelling) was my mother's name! :) I'll try to go back and read the posts....but in case I don't get time (I'm at work) give me a line on what everyone is up to!! :) |
Charlee;
Nice to see you back on. I missed out on a Priscilla treadle. Bummer :( ~ Chris |

I'm thinking the Phoenix takes some smaller needle... 1738 what ever that is... :thumbdown:

Miriam,
The Phoenix Rotary is made by Baer & Rempel and takes a round shank 16x1 needle. The 1738 is also the same length and in fact may be the same needle. The 16x1 needle is the same length as the DBx1, but may have a different diameter (which does change between mfgs). And BTW is the same length as the 15x1 needle. Cathy

Now I wonder. I'm going to have to go take the needle out of the machine and look at it.
