Vintage Singer Sewing Machine
strong>Vintage Singer Sewing machine
I have an old Singer sewing machine that needs a new electric motor, any ideas?
I got my hands on this vintage Singer sewing machine, I think it dates back to the 30's or 40's. It has a DC electric motor 100-110 volts, 60 cycles. I plugged it in and gave it a go. Less than a minute in the motor starts to smoke. Not a lot but enough to make me worry. I think the motor may be unreliable. Can I replace it with a new one? Must it be a DC motor? Know any good websites to start looking? I have never had to replace an electric motor & I really don't want to take it to a professional without seeing what I can do first. Please leave as many detailed suggestions as possible. Nothing would make me happier than to get this machine working properly with my own two hands. Please keep that in mind when leaving your comments. Thanking you very much for your insight in advance. ,Giovanni
Go to your local sewing machine dealer and ask for an L-bracket motor and you will find it fits your machine perfectly. If the motor price is over $25.00US, thank them politely and go somewhere else to buy it. I have replaced many many of these motors and have always found them to be as good (if not better) as the original. They usually come with a 2-prong plug on the end of the lead wire, or they may not have a plug at all. A simple, cheap and easy repair.
