You are absolutely brilliant. Very knowledgeable about sew machines.

Congratulations on your new machine! It sounds wonderful and makes a beautiful stitch.

Thanks

God bless you young lady. My mom passed away in 2022 and I inherited her 404 (I learned to sew on this machine in the very early 70’s) in her last years of life she suffered from dementia and I believe she tried to take it apart. So I am going to restore her to her former glory. I have no experience with this but I spent 22 1/2 yrs in the Navy, three wars, and three ex husbands. I think I can do it. You are so knowledgeable! I will be watching and reading everything you do. God bless you.

Hi there. I hope you found your way to AndyTube’s videos here on KZread about taking apart and repairing a 404. I recently found one and found these videos INCREDIBLY helpful.

Great demonstration on your 404, stitch looks great and she sounds strong. I’m thinking that the 404’s were the machines we had in Home Economics back in the 70’s, it may have been the 301, but good luck with your 404.

Thanks. I had one for years and gave it to my daughter when she started to need her own.

Thanks for the video, Thimble !! This model is my daily user,,,,and I use it ALOT,,,,everyday !!! I have 38 vintage machines. I would never, EVER trade or sell my 404. I consider it the best Singer ever. She is a beast !! People ask me what color this is. I always just say 'morgue-flesh.' I have. 301 and a couple 201s and some great 15-91s, several 99s, some 66s and a factory new 128 from 1940 and many others. But THIS is my #1 girl.

I LOVE THIS VIDEO lol! Young African Canadian Male. Found this exact model in MINT condition @ a thrift store yesterday for 60$. I couldn't be HAPPIER with my purchase. Your explanation of the motor was spot on for me. Learned some really good information, Thank you!

Wow. You got a great find. Congrats and thanks for watching.

Loved your video on the 404. I was lucky enough to have one gifted to me. After a bit of tuning, she runs just as strong as ever. And, I do think it has a special beauty, like a 1958 Chevy!

I inherited a slant 404 desk model from my grandparents. used it to make masks at the beginning of covid... then did a bunch of research on it and fell in love. im a 34 year old mechanic and this thing is just an absolute gem. "THEY DONT MAKE EM LIKE THEY USED TO" lol

Awesome. It's a really nice machine.

I have one I am now cleaning on

Since you are cleaning out your stock, let me know if you have a Singer 201 to sell. I just love them :-)
