Intro
I'm Hilde, and I live in Vermont. I recently had opportunity to add a Wheeler & Wilson 8 to my collection. It's almost complete: needs a mounting screw on the throat plate and one on the needle plate. It's in what looks to be it's original cabinet (complete and in reasonable condition), and aside from a deep accumulation of oil, dust and lint, it's in good working order. This is important to me because I sew a lot, and all machines taking up space have to justify their presence. Mostly I have Singers - especially direct drive machines, which are in my opinion the best machines Singer ever made. |
Hi Hilde;
First, the needle plate & throat plate are jus two different names for the same plate, which other screw do you need.I have nt measred the throat pate screw on the #8 so off hand do no kno is actual size, may??be a while before I am able to do so.. The Singer thread is not actually a #6-40 it is? 9/64-40. 9/64 = .1406" while a #6 screw = 0.138". They are so close they will often interchange, though depending upon tolerance the Singer screw will not always enter a #6-40 tapped hole. Miller/TN |
Wow, thanks! I appreciate the correction! I didn't mean to give bad information! Best regards, Hilde Best On Oct 27, 2017 2:13 PM, "Miller Fulks" <miller@...> wrote: Hi Hilde; |
