I love my Mauzer and have made great garment art with it. Great price too. ❤
All of this information is wildly under-rated. 10/10 your an asset to the community.
Thank you for your kind words
Great Video !!
Amazing good video!! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Joery
Jeez, what a hustle those mustard dudes are on
Thank you for all of the great information, Griffen! Would love to hear your opinions on knock off machines one day.
Great Idea,
I have a couple different brands of Taiwanese machines coming in this month and will plan to do a video on them.
Love this video! Great explanation and great shots of all the machines & components! Since you've mentioned Mauzer at the beginning, I was wondering whether you have experience with them. Do you know whether they generally work well-ish and are reasonably durable? Sadly I could not find much information about them on the internet so far.
Is there any chance you could make another video about the made in Japan 114E machine? If you have one.
I have one of those and it has very few parts with numbers, and it has a cover with paint on the inside.
It's really hard to tell what is original and "Correct".
Seeing the insides of another 114E as a comparison might help.
You should add your website info in the description area of your videos. Great info!
Great dear
Can everyone share these sellers that you’re experiencing problems with so everyone knows to beware? I’ve been looking for an embroidery machine. What serial numbers are for the 114W and what other models did chainstitch embroidery? Thanks in advance, great video!
Grat video dear
I’ve got a 114B103. I’ve never been able to find any info on what the B denotes. I purchased it atleast 6 years ago. It had plenty of genuine wear on the bed and while I can’t verify the full back story, I was told it was purchased by my buyer from an embroidery shop that went out of business a few years before I purchased it. Definitely before the influx of Indian machines, infact at the time, there were VERY few available on eBay. I also got it $400 - what she claimed to pay for it - definitely not a high price even then.
I share all that to say that there are plenty of parts on mine that do not have stamps, yet all the parts look to be of the same quality and same age as both those on the machine that do, and those shown in your video.
You state that the Japanese made E machines do not have the same markings as the W’s. What markings do they have? If my B machine were not made in America, isn’t it possible that some parts may have been shipped over to wherever and would carry the stamps, and others may be made locally? These machines have been in production for over 100 years, through two wars, isn’t it possible that at times some parts would be produced that did not get stamped?
Don’t misunderstand, I’m not speaking in defense of India, the machines you showed were definitely suspect, but I am playing devils advocate for every person who’s now checking their machine and freaking out because one gear isn’t stamped.
Let me know if you’d like detailed photos documenting my machine, so you can compare.
Sure, you can submit photos through the contact me portal on my website.
This isn’t an India vs rest of the world thing. This is an Aussie who is using labor in China and India and is rebuilding Singers and Cornely. You cannot ascribe this to an entire country when it is one operator from Australia who is fully responsible. There are Singers that have been made in India and they function fine, as Singer supplied machines to the Indian Textile industry and also had machines made in India. Of course they are not going to have American Singer stamps on them.
@@cmetube my use of ‘India’ was denoting one specific person and everyone here knows what I was saying.
I also have a 114B103. Still not sure of it’s origin.
This guy seems to know what he's doing.
I want this
Git any of them for sale? Also, do you have old clutch motor reduction pullerys?
So i noticed that the fake machines dont have the "The Singer Manufacturing Company MADE IN USA" on the top, is that something exclusive to the fake/counterfeits?
how to avail the spare parts of this sewing machine
I nead a machine
How can I get
Hi yo tengo dos maquinas, las.dos.singer y en todas.las.piezas dicen simanco usa, pero necesito ayuda 😍 el looper shaft no lo puedo cuadrar o alinear, por favor si alguien sabe o puedo enviar una foto le agradeceria mucho, de bogota colombia 😀
I’ve seen Nike signs on some parts
do you have any experience with the Falak (FK 144) bootlegs? trying to get ahold of a chain and moss stitch machine but the vintage singers are out of my price range at $2200+
We have had all sorts of makes and models of machines come through the shop. Bootlegs, Knockoffs, pristine museum quality originals that look like they were never used.
We dont sign off on machines from any vendors aside from ourselves. There are so many tiny variables that can make or break a machine of any quality and price point. A seemingly immaculate singer can have unseen issues that make it a $5000 boat anchor.
@@Charecosew not gonna lie the machine I saw you produced and sold on your site looks absolutely top teir
@@snowmanmagik we market them as a great first, second, or travel machine. It took a couple years and a lot of research to find a machine we genuinely love.
So wishing this video existed before I got stung by the same seller on e bay, same story, fake parts, mustard seed oil, etc, etc. I called this person out in a couple groups and it was amazing how heated things got. I have always wondered how a real machine would compare in operation. Who knew there was so much money to be stolen from people who love to sew, very niche rip off artist!
Liz, im sorry this has been your experience. I wonder just how many people have been scammed by that jerk.
@@Charecosew Too many! After all this happened, I had seen the same machine going for almost double what I paid, clearly he is still fooling people, thanks for educating potential buyers. Gonna do a look around on my machine and have a good laugh at all the fakery!
Who is the company selling fakes ? is it TCQ ?
@@lizschreiber3750 Could you please share who you received yours from? I am currently looking for this machine and am trying to avoid purchasing from an unreliable source...
OOhhh Dam, I think he got me, some parts on my Machine dont have the parts Numbers . And its starting to get rust... I wished you would have made this Vid last year .....I contacted him. to see if maybe he can send me Original parts and i can swap out. . Fingers crossed or a return of Monetary. I paid alot.
I’ve had to use a different kind of lubricant. How much did he charge you if you don’t mind my asking?
@@cmetube I think I paid 3900 with shipping and motor. Yeah. Thats alot. Oh well I should have waited. I see someone selling an all original. For $2100.n 2 motors . So tempted 😫. I wanted an all original. Everything.
@@cmetube I contacted him and he is telling me the parts with no number are upgrades. He is listed on ebay saying and I asked him before buying if all parts are original and genuine, he said yes and they are not.Going to complain to paypal of fake parts and see if I can get some $ back. I was deceived just like many...
@@JanetDiaz6152 I think you got a good deal to be fair. It’s impossible to find all the parts these days and you got a refurbished one that’s going to last you forever. Indian metal workers are pretty decent and the fact that you got a revived machines is nothing short of miraculous. Gabriel knows what he is doing. He is a world expert.
This is a great video. I’m thoroughly disappointed by the deceptive tactics being used. I have sympathy for those who spent almost 5 grand rather than the almost 3 that I spent. Guess I’ll have to take mine apart.
Is the tcqtexport seller on eBay selling the fake machines?
Did you ever get an answer to this question?
Gabriel certainly not
U have any no
Ahhh f Muser
