Lost key to cabinet !! - White Sewing 2037 Mechanical Sewing Machine

$150 :-)

The G2775438 was built in 1913, according to the Singer database: http://www.singerco.com/admin-support/machine-serial-numbers/single-letter . This serial number is for a Model 66 (built after March 19, 1913). The value depends on the condition and the specific cabinet and accessories that are with the machine. A worn model 66-1 with a basic cabinet is ~$50. The higher end cabinets can raise the price to $125. (Those were the prices ~10 years ago.) Someone wanted $175 for an advertised good condition model 66-1 with a really good cabinet on Etsy a few years ago.

I hope this helps.

You probably can but not without doing some (maybe a lot of) retrofitting. Difference in machine footprint will make a big difference. Also, connecting the lifting hardware, etc. adds to the overall difficulty. You could always ask a handyman familiar with woodworking but chances are, the expense will be more than the machine is worth. But, then sometimes nostalgia wins!

Used for $19.95 on eBay, so you could swap the parts.

If it can be attached, there will be a set of screws/hinges on the back side of it.

I actually modified a sewing machine cabinet to be able to place my machine inside for storage, on its side. When sewing, I have
the modified board on the hinge and the machine sets on top of that. When not is use, cabinet looks like a "table" cabinet.

There are these things called sewing machine hinges. They have a round fitting that slip in to the cabinet and a shaft that fits into the machine itself. I've seen other styles as well. Examine your singer cabinet for 2 circular holes near the back of the spot where the sewing machine hits. You'll need to measure those holes. then find the correstponding holes on the sewing machine casting. You'll likely need some set screws as well.

Here is an etsy listing for a sewing machine hinge that someone has made a steampunk necklace from. LOL Really. At least it's a good photo of what a hinge looks like.

All you need to buy for a sewing machine desk is two 2-drawer file cabinets and a piece of plywood. Just make sure the plywood isn't flimsy and get a piece the width of both cabinets plus an extra 2-3 ft. Lay it on top of the file cabinets and put the cabinets under each end of the plywood leaving the extra 2-3 ft area open in the middle for your chair. You can purchase the cabinets at any Goodwill. They seem to always have a supply of them. You might even find an inexpensive sewing table there! Good luck.

I have the 1130 when it was new and there wasn't a cabinet.

Is this something like you are referring to?

You will note that not all brands/models will work with this particular brand/model of cabinet.

Try this place, I have had good luck with them.
