this listing is fora:Beautiful Restored & Repaired Electric Motor powered 1923 Singer Model 127 Sphinx (sometimes called an Egyptian or Memphis) Sewing Machine that sews very well. it is using a .9 amp Delco motor.i repaired & fixed-up this beautiful 1923 electric (or hand crank compatible) sewing machine. (repeating from above first) basically: i replaced the bobbin winder thread guide spring, repaired a broken part of the \"U\" shaped area on the vertical connecting shaft (see my picture of it...it was repaired by using loctite cold weld bonding compound and krazy glue maximum bond...the part is working well now), replaced all the electrical wires/the motor and light wires were replaced just outside each part (cleaned the motor brushes and commutator, cleaned the foot controller contracts, soldered new wires to terminals inside the motor/light socket plug unit), added a new spool pin and felt pad, all parts in the sewing head were removed and cleaned/oiled, the winder unit was completely taken apart and cleaned/oiled...i thoroughly cleaned the machine (and parts), polished chrome, oiled, adjusted, sew tested & touched up the paint on some worn, scratched and/or chipped paint areas.i also repainted some areas of the motor, light cover, foot controller, winder unit and such. overall this machine is in excellent condition for it\'s age, with generally only minor wear and scratches to it\'s decals. the serial # is G0557512. also pictured are my sew test for this machine (using the entire stitch range from no movement to ~ 3/16\") and a packet of 5 screws (this machine had a wooden base, but was not shipped to me...so, there\'s a screw for the motor/light unit and 4 screws for the hinges on the back of the machine). look at my pictures for more detail & visual information.
update: 4-19-2014 :: the spool pin is now in it\'s proper hole (i\'ve worked on enough of these type of machines to know now) & i reversed the motor pulley and adjusted the belt tension again. my pictures show the previous positions.
update 5-12-2014 :: i sew tested this machine again with red fabric to get a better looking sew test. so, i shot picture # 2 again and replaced it today. i also added a new washer to the motor mount screw and added 2 more speedy ties under the motor where it\'s wires leave/enter the unit. this eliminates much of the movement of these wires.*** i do not accept returns. i do my best to describe my items accurately. i will insure this machine when i ship it through/with UPS. an adult will have to sign for it when it arrives. this machine will be very well packed:: double boxed/bubble wrapped and all. this machine should weigh around 45 lbs when it is all boxed-up. see my other listings if interested. ***
*** I was a Husqvarna Viking certified & trained sewing machine, serger & quilting machine repairman/technician for about 4 yrs. then my mother sold her Albany, NY Viking dealership in April 2011. i repaired and serviced about 1,000 machines during that time. now i just repair machines by appointment only & i purchase and fix-up only those machine that i want to work on or that i like. my focus is on Singer 15-91, 201-2 potted gear machines, 99\'s, bentwood case machines, fiddle base machines & usually the older - oldest hand crank machines...or any good/interesting sewing machine restoration project. ***
