| Singer 6423 Worth?
I have a chance to purchase a 1996 Singer model # 6423. The only thing wrong with it is the needle can't be moved to the left or right. The zig zag stitch & all the other stitches work fine. What is it worth & where can I purchase a owners manual? If I purchase it I would have it professionally cleaned & oiled.
Thank You
Elmira
| 7/21/2006 |
| Dear Elmira,
The 6423 does not have an independent feature that moves the needle left or right- other than the zig zag. There is no feature for needle position on that machine. Manuals for that machine are available on www.sewingandvac.com for $16.95 + shipping.
According to the sewing machine blue book, the 6423 is worth $126.00.

| Somger Stylist
Dear Sew Vac Doctor,
I recently lost my Singer Stylist in a house fire, from the huge amount of water from the firefighters. The machine was purchased in 1978(a gift from my parents) and was a Stylist with zigzag, and internal 4-step buttonhole capacity, and a solid machine with a lot of metal. Also had some detail/decorative stitching internal capability, and blind hem stitch.
I think it was a 500 series, maybe 400 series.
I need to claim this on my insurance, and then buy a machine similar in
value. Do you
have any idea how much this machine would have been in 1978, and how much a
comparable machine would be today?
Thank you.
Nancy
| 7/12/2006 |
| Dear Nancy,
Without knowing the exact model number, there really is no way for me to determine. The 400 series machines go for $9.50-$19.00 and the 500 series machines go anywhere between $14.50-$42.00.

I bought my mom a Bernina at a yard sale. I am trying to find out what it may be worth. I believe it is a 730 model. On the front is a gold medalion with "75 JHREGEGAUF" on it. Also printed on the front of the machine is "RECORD" . On the part of the head is written "70 Made in Switzerland". It is in a wooden cabinet. It came with a compartment tray, it looks like it attaches to the machine or cabinet in some way. We haven't figured it out yet. The tray had 11 additional sewing feet in it, several bobbins.

| I Found a Singer 457 in the Trash....
Hi, I found a Singer 457 in the trash. I tried sewing with it and it broke a needle. I took it to a repair shop and the mechanic says he
will fix it for $69.00 plus the price for the gear and missing knobs. Is it worth fixing this machine or should I put it back into the trash? If I get the gear and knobs replaced and tension knob tightened, is there anything else likely to go wrong with it or will it be useable for the next 30 years? How old is this machine, by the
way? I'm guessing it's from the late 70's.
Thanks!
Tammi
| 4/4/2006 |
| Dear Tammi,
It sounds to me as if this repair is going to cost you around $100.00 with the parts. In my opinion, you could purchase a new machine for $200.00- and there is no telling if the repaired machine will run perfectly for the next 30 years.

| Regency Sewing Machine Manufacturer
Hello.
Perhaps you could help me. I inherited a Regency Deluxe Zigzag Sewing Machine, Model 710-BB. All I'm trying to do is figure out what company actually made this machine and why can't I find anything out on the web about it. My curiosity is killing me. No where in the manual or on the machine do I have any clues, except that on the motor is the following: Dyanmic Sewing Motor, Serial # 2506, Toyko, Japan. Does this perhaps mean that an American company had a joint-venture with a Japanese company to make their sewing machine?
Any help you could provide would be much appreciated.
Sincerely,
Jan

Thanks Bob
| 2/10/2006 |
| Dear Bob,
If it is in fact a Singer model 221 Featherweight, then yes, it is valuable. Depending on the condition, that machine is worth anywhere from $300.00-$600.00.

My sister in law just gave my daughter a Viking Husqavarna 6030. The machine smell like mold/mildew and some of the knobs are really tight. Is this machine worth getting cleaned and fixed and approx. how much is it worth?

| When Was My Machine Manufactured?
I have an old and Very heavy singer I think the model # is AG 895386 in the original sewing cabinet it came with. There isn't a power cord with it anymore. I'm not even sure it even still works I just bought it because it is old and I think a beautiful machine. But was wondering how old it really is.
Thanks Marla
| 2/2/2006 |
| Dear Marla,
According to the sewing machine blue book, your machine was produced in the years 1947-1948.
I can get you the power cord for your machine if you would like as well. Let me know.

| Montgomery Ward Sewing Machine Value
My dad has a Montgomery Ward sewing machine model UGH-1335A that he said belonged to his mother. He kept it running for a very long time, and it is still in good condition. I estimate it should be from the 1940s. Might you have an idea of its value? I have checked many websites, incluf\ding ebay, and have had no luch finding anything like it.
Any help you could give would be apreciated.
Thanks,

| 2/2/2006 |

I am sorry to say, but that machine is not worth really anything, however, sentimental value is priceless. Montgomery Wards never prduced any sewing machines, rather, they had other companies produce machines for them and slapped their name on it.

| Is My Machine Worth $100.00?
I am borrowing a Singer but it has no model number. It says Electronic Control under the word Singer on the machine. The instruction book is copyright 1994. My friend claims she bought it on
QVC a year ago and wants $100 for it.
It is a 5-stitch, 3-needle position. The zig-zag is "infinite" - can get any width and length. There are 5 decorative stitches including a blindstitch. No darning foot attachment so I cannot free-motion quilt, but it does claim to do a simple darning with a plastic thing put over the feeddogs.
So did QVC sell an old machine? Is it worth $100?
Thank you, Alice

| What is a Reasonable Cost for Repairing a Machine?
My Viking Husqvarna 990 stopped working. I was sewing through denim and it lost power. A repairman says that it needs a new power pak(?) which is located under the right side of the machine where the power cord plugs into it. Another repairman I spoke with said that it would be very unusual for this part to go out. It’s hard to know who to trust and since this machine belonged to my deceased mother it has sentimental value but has also been a great machine. Any advice or help you can give me would be appreciated. I would be interested in knowing what is a reasonable cost for repairing a machine? Though I love this machine I don’t want to spend more than a new machine would cost.
Thank you,
Lanette
| |
| Dear Lanette,
The power pak that the mechanic is speaking of is known as a transformer. This box transforms AC power into DC power. I have had great success in taking the transformer apart and finding a fuse blown inside. This may or may not be the problem, but it is not unusual for a transformer to burn out. The cost of the transformers are about $125.00 complete and it is only one plug in and four screws to replace it. I would charge you about a $25.00 bench charge, if that is all the problem is. I hope this is enough information

| Is My Singer 758 Worth Putting This Much $$ Into?
I have a Singer Touch and Sew II, Model 758, sewing machine. The bottom stitching is not tight; the stitches are inconsistent, and I have never been able to sew knits so they stretch well. I have taken it in to a service center and have been informed that I need new feed dogs, replacement of the cam stand, and an adjustment. The estimated cost is over $150. Is this a good enough machine to put that kind of money into it, and insure reliability, or should I look for a new basic machine? I sew all types of fabrics, but do more general sewing and repair now. For instance, I'm making valence using polyester material. What models would you recommend to investigate?
| |
| That machine is not worth putting $150.00 towards a repair. I could repair your machine for $29.95 + the cost of shipping and the cost of parts.
If you only need the feed dogs, I have them for $14.95. If you need a cam stack gear, which I highly doubt, I have them for $14-$15.00.
Let me know if you would be interested.

| Is This A Good Price to Fix My Singer Featherweight?
Hello, I was reading with interest your website and hope you can shed some light on my problem. I have the above machine which stopped working. I took it to my local sewing repair shop, thinking it was the foot controller and was informed that the motor had gone out and they were going to charge me $300 to replace (not with a genuine Singer motor but a new replacement). I decided to hold off because I felt this was too much. Recently, I purchased a motor from E-Bay and this doesn’t work either. My mother has the same machine and I took my controller and plugged it into her machine and hers didn’t work. This leads me to believe that it might have been the controller all along and it sickens me to think that the repair shop might have been trying to mislead me. What do you think? Thank you for any advice you may have for me!

Your Singer model 185J is a wonderful machine, it sews well, and will give you years of service, but it is not the sought-after model 221 Singer Featherweight.

Dear industrial sewing machine man:
Recently my mother passed away and left me her beautiful black sewing machine with gold trim. The machine is well over 60 years old. My girlfriend has told me that old machines are worth a lot of money. Is this true? Where can I sell it?
Ms. Kate Benis
| |
| Dear Ms. Benis:
Some old machines are worth money, but 90% are worth very little. You must understand that in the beginning part of this century, everyone had a sewing machine. Isaac Singer sold more sewing machines in 1920 than all of the sewing machine companies sold last year. Even though your sewing machine may be in perfect condition, it may not be worth that much. I would keep it for sentimental value. If you wish to sell it, I would first look on e-Bay for a similar model. If you want to send me the model number, I will also try to help you discover its worth.
Thanks,
