Hi there I just watched you sewing with the Singer 95k40. I have one which was a friend’s mum’s from the 1940’s! I have tried cleaning it but it seems a bit rusty. The tension wheel especially. Also it doesn’t fill a bobbin very well so I use my modern machine for that. My question for you, please if I may, is how. Uh oil does it need and how can I get the tension to work properly? I hope you can help or give me some directions! Also did you swap the motor in your’s? Thanks.
i just picked one of these up today. The manual says to use 88x1 needles. I was going to sew light leather on it but can't find a 88x1 needle with a leather point for love nor money. What size of needle are you using or any advice?
Sorry for the late response. I drilled out the needle bar to accept standard round shank needles. This made it very easy then. Good luck with your sewing projects. 👍
I purchased this one for $150.00 but it needed some tlc. These machines take a universal needle like those used in domestic machines. I have drilled out the needle bar to take up to 140/16 needles which are much thicker. This allows me to use industrial threads for leather and canvas. I am installing a servo motor to slow it down and increase the control. With these mods you would expect to cost around $500. 00 this is still a very affordable machine. The next step up would be a 111w 211w which go for around a grand and up.

Hi do you know if we can add a walking foot and if so which one?
@@csal7577 the domestic walking for attachment for singer 101 should fit.
can attachments be used on this machine or does it not have any buecus of the needle bar
@@rndea100 the domestic get will fit. You just need to take the foot you have and compare.
👐👍
Que precio tiene en dólares ? Tengo una como esa con todo y mesa.
Hi, I don't suppose you know what one of these machines are worth in Australia?
