Thanks for your videos! They have helped a lot! You mentioned that you noticed that the marking is sometimes "Тула" (or "Tula") and in other places "Myno." However, they are the same! It's just that what looks like "Myno" is cursive for "Tula"! The letter T in Cyrillic cursive looks like an M, and the letter "l" is a bit curved like an "n." Don't worry, your machine is a Tula!
Great information! Thank you very much for clearing that up for me, and thanks for commenting! My current project, which I hope to have don e this weekend, is an 1875 Biesolt & Locke Cinderella sewing machine on. an ornate cast iron base. The video will be posted early next week. I hope you enjoy it.
This is a lovely machine. I am drawn to the early electric all metal sewing machines. They can combine useful features with rugged durability, both essential to me as I sew. I know very little of Tulas and I have a couple of questions. It looks robust, but does your model have any plastic gears, complex belts or other essential parts which when they degrade would make it unusable? Also, I didn't catch if it could reverse. I'm enjoying your channel very much. Thank you so much for sharing. 👍
I'm glad you liked our Tula. I just popped the top to check the gears, and as far as I can see they are all metal. The drive belt appears to be a heavy canvas or leather strip with large staples every quarter inch. I've sen this type of belt on several machines. You might be interested to read that our newest machine is a 1950 Elna Grasshopper. It comes in a very military looking oil drab metal case, which folds out into a very attractive two-tone green work station for the machine. I hope to have a video about it in the near future. Thanks for commenting!
I forgot to answer your 'reverse' question. Yes, the Tula does reverse. The lower of the two white knobs is the stitch regulator. All the way to the left is 5 stitches per inch forward and all the way to the right, or clockwise, is 5 stitches per inch in reverse.
*Separated at birth:* TULA sewing machines and KitchenAid stand mixers. I'm pretty sure you can use KitchenAid's sausage-making attachment with this machine.
So, I just bought one of these beautiful machines. Anyone know if they used lead paint on these? Lol not a big deal, but I might have to keep one of my nephews away from it.

Was just going to leave this comment if someone else had not explained! Well said :-)
Thank you thank you thank you!! I don’t have a handcrank option on my green one.
Unfortunately, because few people use them the hand cranks often get lost. Thanks for commenting!

@@wayneschmidt490 Thanks for the information Wayne. I look forward to seeing your new machine. All the best. 👍

Thank you for commenting, but I'm afraid I don't understand you're trying to say.
Could you help me with my Tula sewing machine? I have bobbin issues. Mine is drab green.
I'll be happy to try. What's the problem?

They used a backed-up enamel similar to what's used on cars. Thanks for the comment!
@@wayneschmidt490 that was an incredibly quick reply! Thank you so much.
