Singer 201 (1951)

 Been looking for a 201 for years; found this one at a local estate sale 

These machines in Domestic use will be in good running order in 2120 too!

The 201 is popular for all good reasons, this was the period of some of the finest machining capabilities at Singer and around the world. 



The 201 is more Industrial like that any thing else they made, except for the potted motor.

The potted motor is the drawback to all singers in that it is the minimum power possible motor, that being said you will be fine for anything other than hard thick leather.

Shown are the serious gear set that makes the 201 the amazing and quiet machine that it is. 

The system is a "Rotary Hook" instead of the more common and less smooth "Oscillating Hook"

  3. Tom,
    I came across your name searching about a Champion No. 12 Channelling and Grooving machine. I see where you had one a while back and was wondering if you still have it and if you would like to sell it.
    Thank You,
    Bob

Personally, if all webmasters and as you did, the web will be a lot more useful than ever before. Best of luck for the next! Please visit my web site sewingdirect.co.nz.
