Vintage Sewing Machine Shop.....Come on in and sit a spell
Will stitch cams for a 600 series Singer work on the 503? Just asking cuz surfing EBay. I ask cuz the seller said s/he used them on the Rocketeer and all do not look the same or similar. TIA ~ Chris
Thanks, Glenn. I have an "extra" 319 around here somewhere, it would be fun to treadle it!! The next time it comes out of hiding, I will check it out and see.
Yes, you can use the BLACK "top hat" cams, just not the later white "Flexistitch" cams or the flat cams used on the 300 series.

Nancy, Thank you!
So, have your named this machine? If not, I have been looking at some Japanese names, don't know if this is a girl or boy machine. You got to give it a name! I know it will be well loved!
Takara, treasure, girl's name
Shinobu, endurance, unisex name
Hajime, beginning, boy's name

Oh!! I tried sewing through some papertowels on my Davis VF tonite, and it worked!! Cool! I can't wait to get her into a treadle base so I can sew with her. I still haven't figured out a name....maybe when I get her into a treadle she'll tell me!! LOL
That's what I do sometimes or when cleaning the machine the name is given, a rebirth. Looking forward to pictures of that Davis.

Glenn, here are pics of my treadle cabinet. Is there too much of the finish gone to use the Howard's Restore product? Thanks.
