95k43 Stripdown

Tonight I decided to strip down the 1942 Singer 95k43Industrial machine. The Woman that I had bought it off had paid a retired sewing machine engineer to service this machine as it was intended to be a present for her Sister. Unfortunately, her Sister didnt like the cabinet it was housed in and refused the gift.  I can understand why...

Not another industrial sewing machine

Ok So I like to research, I mean quite a bit...
