      Looks like the 27k was a fairly popular model.  After I looked around some on the internet, I think I might have a machine that uses the same style bobbins.  I recognize the shuttle piece, but I can't remember if it was just a random part in a bin, or actually one that goes with my third machine.  When I get home this afternoon, I'll have to dig around and see what I can find.

        @giles can’t beat the old singer machines. My grandmother bought this new, my mom had the motor changed in the eighties sometime, and I’m still using it today

        Nice machine @el camino. What you have there is a Singer 201, the undisputed pinnacle of domestic Singer production. Unfortunately, with few exceptions, it was all downhill for Singer after this model.

              The good news is, that I now have an equal amount of useful fingers as I have toes…. 😉

              8?

              Maybe so. Maybe not

                                  And this what it looks like when we are missing cartons, no complete size runs, so we cant put new products live (or even measure them), or ship to retailers.  So there are piles of stuff waiting until we can move or ship….

                                      Yep, UPS (as do most other shipping companies) ship to UK from Japan (and other places in Asia) via China.

                                      As the world starts to open up after the lock-downs, the volumes of goods needing to be shipped, is far outstripping the available space in cargo planes.  So, there are delays happening now, that did not happen during the lock-downs.

                                      19 carton shipment due here Monday.  Got 9 cartons Mon, 9 cartons yesterday and 1 today.  Ditto other shipments….

                                        Oh, man. I'm sorry to hear! I'm sure that puts stress on top of an already stressful situation.
