Bob

Do a search on the Singer web site....the usually have parts lists available for most of the older machines

[outrider]

Here it is Outrider.. I can sew 13 mm (½inch)  with it, just want to use it to stitch the lining on the belts to save some time..
Was looking on a Juki 441, but I have to rob a bank for it, just $ 11195 for it 

[Boothill Bob]

Cant find a shuttle like this  Mine is cracked..

[outrider]

Bob,

That sure is some machine.  We call that part a bobbin case.  The older "shuttles" looked like a small torpedo with pointed ends

I found an old parts list for that machine on the Singer web site...it appears to have been made in the late 1920's early 1930's...

From what I am seeing (vintage sewing machine parts search) I think the bobbin case and oscellator from the class 15 Singers will also fit the Class 132 machines

[Boothill Bob]

Yea, bobbin case..
Its imposseble to find it in Sweden. Will trow the machine away if I dont find any.
There was one complete axel here but they want $ 745 for it so I told them NO WAY 

[outrider]

Bob,

I have been in touch with Ron Anderson of A! Sewing Machines in New York stste.   He is asking for photographs of the maachine and the effected parts....I will send him what you posted and will also ask him to contact you directly...also what is the serial number of the machine?

Ron's email is: ron@a1sewingmachine.com

I will give him your email and information.

Hope this works

[Boothill Bob]

Thanx Outrider 
The serial number is Y6328361
Hope I hear from him.. 

[outrider]

I ma not sure Anderson will have the part for you
According to the serial number the machine was made in 1922

[Boothill Bob]

1922  younger then my wife then  Dont dare to tell her that.
Tanx for the help Outrider. Have to look for a new one now

What I have done with my Singers is buy whole machines off ebay, and then  ask the person to strip them and send me all the parts but the heavy bits.  I did this with a guy in Oregon who it turned out was a mechanic.  At the time all I wanted was the drive Wheel for treadle use, but he stripped every part and sent them to me in Canada.  I paid about 20 for the machine, and 20 for the postage.

I see your machine cost like 900 on ebay, so if that is the case, not very attractive.  But if there are parts in common with the 15s, you might manage.

Will a 132k6 machine work?  Is this the stuff you need?  Even so you could ask him what he has or where he got it.

This is a 15 class machine part,

Remember that anyone selling anything related on ebay is someone you can contact.


For machines in this class, my favourite place on the web is the  Honourable Cordwainer's Company amd the Crispin Colloquy.  Their forum has a ton of good info on shoe class machines.  They also have the dearly beloved sewing machine providers who are super on service, though I forget the actual person, so I will leave ferreting it out of that forum to you.  A somewhat roundabout place.  And I don't see a reference to 132s. But a good place for machine problems.

Old Singers are very high quality, which means: 1)  It is possible the part can be rebuilt.  2)  Don't throw it out, part it out.

[GunClick Rick]

I always find old singers at antique shops,i know they ar not for leather work,but ya never know.Deos it have to be a leather machine or are the interchangable with the home models..?

[Boothill Bob]

Thanx Massive, I will look it up.
GCR, I dont know if its interchangable, if so it will be easy
to find a vinning case. I dont know who to ask about that.

[outrider]

Bob,

Here is another website for you to try for those parts

www.seweurope.co.uk

They list parts for the 132/K5 so maybe they have some for the K2

[Massive]

It seemed every time I looked up a new parts list for those machines it was in the UK, and not over here.  So maybe they were made there.

I found this link doing some other searching might be worth a try.
