I'm pretty sure this is from the late 1940's early 1950's. After WWII the US allowed Japanese manufacturers to get the plans for Singer's class 15 machines in order to help rebuild the Japanese economy. The Japanese tweaked them and improved them and then began building them. I have this same Universal machine. There are many of these machines in a variety of colors besides black but they are pretty much identical. Some have knobs or buttons to drop the feed dogs. Underneath them you sometimes find familiar names like Juki or Brother. I actually mounted mine in an old treadle cabinet. It still has the motor attached but I took the belt off and hooked up the treadle belt. It works beautifully, especially for embroidery.
Beautiful machine. I just found one that looks similar to this one but it's labeled "Sheraton" De luxe Family Sewing Machine, comes in a carrying case and needs a belt. Thanks for sharing. These remind me of the singer 66 machines
you look like an expert to me. ive found an old one that belonged to my mother who made us clothes and curtains, im left with the machine and i will follow your video to see if i can thread it. thanks for that, it was very interesting
I just bought a machine exactly like this one. It is in a carry case. After a little oil and cleaning it works like brand new. I gave $10.00 for it at a garage sale. The only thing wrong with it, is the case. One hinge is broken and the bottom half of the case is falling apart. When I opened it up I found a replacement hinge inside. I'm a wood worker by trade. So fixing the case is no sweat.
The way he did it was correct. From the spool to the notch at the top/back. than down to the drag wheel. Around the wheel, going under than over the L shaped hook. Than thru the fine spring wire. Than thru the hole in the end of the take-up arm, back down to the little guide on the chrome plate. than the thread goes behind the wire guide next to the needle. Thread the needle from left to right. If threaded from right to left it won't pick up the Bobbin thread.
Could you share a link to the information you found on the 'net on threading this machine? I have a Universal Eversew Model 77 on its way to me. I'm not having any luck finding any information on the 'net about it.
Never mind. I was searching for the Universal Eversew. I finally realized I needed to search for Singer class 15 and clone machine info, and there's more than one can shake a stick at.
Hello Joyce. I'm sorry I cannot tell you where to find the original kind of screws. However, I'm confident that if you were to bring the cabinet to a hardware store, they could match up the screws. Good luck.
@@charlesboesen25 thank you the prongs that fits into the machine are there. it is screws that tighten to hold machine a and prongs together . Thank you
It is amazing sewing machine and cabinet is a better homes and garden a friend gave it to me after sitting for many years . His mother and grandmother made all kinds of stuff and quilted
I have the same machine. I have a problem, Everytime I thread it and start stitching, it somehow gets unthreaded in a few seconds. It keeps happening all the time and so I can't use it anymore. Do you know why this is happening?
+trofin simion Yes, I was given an estimate of $50. Although it runs so well, my mother would never part with hers. She loves it. And she has been sewing for many years.
Not a 1930's ish Machine look at the serial number prefix letter I have a 1961 serial number H85557..."A" prefix was 1954...in alphabetic order so "H" is 1961

I just bought one from a woman who got hers as a wedding present in the 1950's. It's a more ornate machine than my older Singer 15.
I just found an old one on Etsy. Didnt have the cabinet and no zigzag but what a beautiful machine. Now I need to fine a table and some information.

what a beautiful piece of machinery. they really don't make things like they used to. now it's all about profit margin.

Stanley Denning That was a good story. My mother is a seamstress and this is her go to machine above all others.
What did you do for the bobbin when getting ready to sew?
Can you please show us a way to thread and use the bobbin I am so confused and I think you left that part out in the video
Can you show the bobbin case and how to put bobbin into it? left to right or right to left?

Tell me if this is helpful. Good luck
Where did you find how to thread the sewing machine? Mine looks slightly different than yours, same Brand though.
where do you find how to thread this machine?...too fast.

@@stanleydenning I just screenshot your comment so I'll have it when I need it. Thanks! 🙂

I just bought one for 39.77. Just realized there is no bobbin case. Where can I find one? Thank you!

I just bought a Martin Deluxe Universal just like this one. Can you tell me where to download a free manual? Perhaps a Singer but what class?
I think the singer website has them or a link.
What size needles is on it?
Hey why does the bobbin get stuck when I try to sew?
Hello. I'm sorry, I've not experienced that.
It uses a class 15 bobbin, but not the
Singer one. I use one made for a Brother class 15. Th openng that the needle intrudes into is different.
You should have the needle IN the fabric before you start the machine.
I have the same machine. I have a problem,
Everytime I thread it and start stitching, it somehow gets unthreaded in a few seconds. It keeps happening all the time and so I can't use it anymore. Do you know why this is happening?
Did you ever get it fixed?
I have a similar machine. Do you still own this?
yes, my 77 year old mother uses it almost on a daily basis. Says it's one of the best machines she's ever used.
scuse me ...how do you now the year of this model? i cant find it ... i have only the serial number MA 868785 ...what means this serial ? thanks
+trofin simion Hello. I only know this because the woman who sold it to me said so. I'm not positive. Sorry.
+Charles Boesen ... do you have any idea of the value of this machine in our days ? thank you
+trofin simion Yes, I was given an estimate of $50. Although it runs so well, my mother would never part with hers. She loves it. And she has been sewing for many years.
Jutka makes some kickbutt machines. Selfoiling.
Not a 1930's ish Machine look at the serial number prefix letter I have a 1961 serial number H85557..."A" prefix was 1954...in alphabetic order so "H" is 1961
