Singer Sewing Machine Model 217 Motor Replacement

Singer model 217, ~1960s: Simple and reliable, and always ready for me.[/caption]

Old Singer sewing machines are well made and built to last. My Singer model 217 was handed down to me and sews very well. I was dismayed that the machine would not turn over as it did before and discovered that the motor needed replacement. These motors are no longer made so getting a replacement was not straight forward. After the motor replacement my Singer hums along like new. Maybe I will sew up some Canadian flags!
