- For this video, I'm joined by my wife Liz who will be doing the reassembly of this Singer 192k from 1960. Being a musical instrument mechanic (woodwinds are her specialty). Liz knows her way around hand tools. This is her first foray into sewing machine mechanics, but it isn't her first rodeo - she's rebuilt the rack of four carburetors in our 1983 Honda Goldwing touring motorcycle!

Thank you for doing this tutorial! I will be watching this again when I go to put my 192k back together.
Glad it helped!
Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge
Oh Wow!!! This is Great!!!
Thanks Pat!
You guys are an absolute treasure. What nice people, so talented and you both work well together. I look forward to exploring your other films, I have a couple Vintage Singers I maintain. Thank you!
Thanks so much!
Great video, and lovely to meet your wife! Now I've got to go watch the one where you took it apart...
A wee hint someone told me that I've found really useful is that if you see a slot that doesn't go right across the whole screwhead you've almost certainly got a reverse (left-hand) threaded screw (in Singer machines - don't know about others, although it might be true for them too). Not all reverse-threaded screws stop shy of each side on the screwhead - but all screws I've come across in Singer machines that have slots that stop shy are reverse-threaded.
Thank you Bob and Liz. Very helpful. I may have to drag the 99 out again. lol Have a great day.
You can do it!
Thanks Bob for this very interesting video. I managed to learn a few things, though taking my sewing machine apart I fear is well beyond me. However, adjustments to tensions, especially the thread tension adjustment was so well explained, that I think to be able to replicate on my particular machine from 1889. I sadly have no idea what model mine is, luckily I identified the year by its serial number of 9,400,xxx through the Singer serial number records. Thanks again, Bob, and also to your friend Liz.
Hi Renata - you probably know this page, but just in case you don't, there's a fair chance that you'll see a picture here that helps you identify what type of machine you have - least in terms of the model generally if not the particular version of it: www.singersewinginfo.co.uk/gallery_machines
If you have a Singer 27 or 27K it looks the same as the 28 or 28K models except it is a "full size" rather than "3/4 size" machine.
@@meganmills6545, thank you so much for your kind reply and the link. Comparing images and my machine I would say I have a VS 3, though with somewhat different decals. My Old Lady has the name Singer also superimposed over the decal like in the image and also only one spool holder. Sadly, some of the measurements are beyond my understanding, as I don't know where I could apply them. However, this gives me already a better understanding. Thanks again.
@@renata_of_the_craft The decals are only a general indication - from what I can tell there were quite a variety of sets and while most examples of a model come in "this, that or that" decal set there are exceptions floating about where you'll see an odd example of a different decal set on what seem to be otherwise identical machines. I don't know... maybe while they were doing a batch of machines someone in the factory got absent-minded and reached for the wrong stack of decal sheets and did all the machines in their shift that day in a different set, forgetting for a while they were doing a run of a different model! :-)
Drop me an email at argosybob@gmail.com if there's anything I can do to help.
@@BobFowlerWorkshop, thank you. Presently I'm happy with my recent arrival of my lovely Singer hand crank sewing machine. I'm a sewer, and when it comes to the inner workings I'm sadly mostly lost. I certainly couldn't take it apart and put it back together. And the same goes for me and motorcycles, which I used to ride until about fifteen or so years ago when they became too heavy for me to handle, as I liked big bikes, had a number of BMW bricks, K-series, both 1000 and 750s, also two Goldwings, which were just so easy to handle, apart from reversing, even with a reverse gear that reached my limitations. But repair was never an option, just did not have a knack for it, though I have tried repeatedly when I first started with bikes, a Velo Solex, a French moped type of thing with a a motor transfering movement by friction to the front wheel. With a friend I took the motor to bits, and put it back together. But no, the problem was still unresolved, even though I tried to sort it out, whilst my friend's machine purred away happily.
I am just curious to find out what model the machine is, I only have the supposed year via the serial number website, then having compared a number of images with my Singer, it may be a VS3. I'm quite happy with that so far, and I'm planning to create some period garments on her.
Thank you again for your supportive message, I will contact you if I feel the need with a physical problem with the machine I cannot resolve myself.
Both your disassembly and reassembly videos are amazing. The detail is incredible. I have a problem you didn't address since you didn't put the motor and handwheel back on. When I press the foot control the andwheel doesn't engage and the machine doesn't sew. The belt is relatively new and I haven't been able to use the machine since I replaced the belt. I don't know what to adjust. Can you help?
Great video, timely and easy to follow for the DIY's! This information will apply to mostly all of the vintage machines. There are other good videos by others that are more detailed oriented and this is great for reference. Thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
Do you have instructions on how to adjust the bobbin tension on the Singer Spartan? Top stitch looks good, but underneath it's looping. Thank you
Looping below is indicative of either improper threading or loose upper thread tension. Make sure the presser foot is lifted when threading so the thread can go between the tension disks. That's the most common cause.
Bob, I'm struggling to find the springs for a Singer model 66 bobbin winder. It's an old Red Eye that belongs to my mother and its serial number dates it from 1916. I ordered some springs that I thought would work but the springs are reverse from what they should be, so they won't work. Any suggestions??
Send me an email at argosybob@gmail.com and include some pictures of the springs you have and the bobbin winder.
I just picked one of these up from the Salvation Army and it has power but it doesn’t spin. If I take the belt off, and spin start the motor, it works until I let it stop and then it won’t turn on its own. Also will not spin when belted. Motor does not have cap so the motor wiggles from side to side and the brushes dont provide equal pressure. Fix? Cap? New motor?
Honestly, I would buy the Alphasew .9 amp 7000 rpm motor and go with that. I'd also get the electronic foot controller and duplex block at the same time. Depending on the lamp, I might consider replacing that as well.
@@BobFowlerWorkshop thank you so much! Your videos on this machine are so informational. The best way to learn how something works is to take it apart
