D-9 Parts Machine or Refurbish Job for Someone

Re: New member.
Thanks for the response. The serial numbers on the 9Ws appear to be largely irrelevant. I guess the lesson is to not ignore a Singer with a W serial #. You must check the machine itself to determine

Hi Mike, I'm a newbie so if you have a picture of the bobbin cover slide plate I'll let you know. When I took the bobbin out there was a notch of some sort you had to release to get it out.Im away

Re: New member.
Hi All; I will try to combine several answers in this one post. The majority of #8 machines had the larger 1.0" (25.4mm) dia bobbin by 0.245" (6.22mm) thick. Its case did not have a tension spring,

Re: New member.
Hi Cheryl. My sister had only 1 D9 bobbin and after looking around for a few days, yours were the only ones I found. Thanks for listing them. Do you happen to have the bobbin cover slide plate on your

Re: New member.
Hello, my name is Elda and own both a WW9 "transition from 8" (someone told me it was called? that because it has a 9 but it uses the bobbin system just like the WW8) and a WW D9. I am interested in

Re: New member.
Hi, I'm replying to Michael Taylor. I'm Cheryl Emrick. I think I'm the one who sold you the 4 bobbins for your D9, from CT. I bought the W&W D9 for the cabinet. I have the sewing machine but seemed

Re: New member.
Thanks! I also need some information on the 9W-7. The serial # is W25543. This machine was listed for some time and I ignored it because of W serial number, assuming that is was an early donut bobbin

Re: New member.
Hi Mike; The best I have been able to determine is that all W&W D-9s will have a 7-digit serial number which will be between 2,200,000 & 3,000,000. If the 7-digit number begins with a 3 it will have

Re: New member.
Interesting about the Singer 9W1s with WW decals. The serial number on the D9(?) is 2585460. Is there a way to know if this machine was made after Singer took over? I would really hate to tell her

Re: New member.
Hi Mike; Welcome to the group. The D-9 & 9W7 are both excellent machines. The D-9s were made from 1895 through 1905. After Singer bought W&W they first made the 9W1 which still wore W&W decals & fit

Finally managed to upload some pics - drag and drop doesn't work, have to double click each pic. As you can see the No. 1 even with a good clean still shows its "patina" but will sew once I track down
