[quote=BoJangles][quote=Charlee] I am sticking to my guns that, that Challenge is either a Davis or a National!
Nancy
Ok I just compared Kathie's Challenge cabinet to my Davis Vertical Feed, and the two cabinets have the exact same drawer pulls! The cabinets look almost alike too!
Nancy
OK, I'm calling it a Davis now. Here is why:

Thank you cdthayer!
This looks like a Davis ME Unique. Scroll down to Davis ME and do a comparison.

The second spool holder is under the machine where there would usually be a bobbin or shuttle!

Sounds like a logical way to make a sewing machine.

Scroll down to my photos of my Two Spools machine on this page: http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-130994-2.htm
I wish they still made some machines this way. It would save time. I should update this photo. The thread is a mess in this photo, sorry.

My friend bought a singer # D1363943, singer says it is a 28-3. I can not find a manuel for it, it has a round bobbin standing upright not a shuttle. And it is in a treadel cabinet. Thanks for any help.

I love the table top on your industrial. Man, 4000 spm is flyin' down the highway!
Hope you feel better soon. Will be praying for you.

I tell you what I will be so glad to be over with it and it just started...... :roll: But they said it is a 3 part treatment and I will be going in for round two week after next. I did get another industrial W&G machine since I sold my last one a few weeks ago to a lady in Dyersburg. It is a lot nicer and a little newer looking but I need to see if I can get a belt for it and get it to running again. Yes I think this one will remain electrified. :shock: Yep I think I have lost my mind but I want to be able to set this up to where I can put my block strips together really fast! and if I decide to do a stitch in the ditch type of quilting I can do that in a hurry also, to the tune of 4000 stitches a minute. :mrgreen:
But here are a few photos of the rascal....

Need some help please???? I want to date a Royal Super Deluxe Precision Built antique sewing machine. Here is the info I do have: SN JN246695 and below that on the frame is K-56.
It is a beatiful turquoise in color and comes in a simple 4 leg cabinet. Not sure if cabinet is original to it.
I'm going to pick it up later today. I understand that everything on it moves freely so I'm anxious to see how it sews.
I also need a manual, preferably free. LOL
Thanks for your help!
