Hugh-Candoit (ENG) Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 I have an old Singer a 29 K 4 No 14714656. I think it is pretty old early 1900's? What say you experts? Strangely enough, I think tha this is the machine that the Asians first copied then realised that they needed the one with the split arm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithm Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 For anyone interested in upgrading their old Singer patcher, we have only 2 examples of our New machines at a special introductory offer. Please call us if you require one or more infomation http://www.standardgroup.co.uk/shoe-rep ... /claes.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenB Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 Only 2 left? Obviously on Lee's recommendation they're selling like hot cakes. I presume the Justgiving site gets some benefit from all this extra business Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithm Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 As a BIG sponsor of this site, Lee certainly benefits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh-Candoit (ENG) Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 My recommendation would be to get that "Claes" while it is on offer.(you wont be dissapointed). I'm an old stick in the mud and I will probably never be convinced of Chinese precision engineering although I do see them coming on in leaps and bounds.
