Stunning 1954 Singer 191J Sewing Machine Heavy Duty Potted Motor Tested EXTRAS. This beautiful Singer sewing machine was made in 1954 in the St. Johns, Quebec, Canada factory by the serial number, JD391282. The Singer 191 was made in a number of countries with a few variations in colour and drive options, the J model was made in Canada and just like the 15-91 it uses a direct drive potted motor. The 191J is a rarer variant of the venerable Singer 15, using the same oscillating hook and mechanics, packaged into a sleeker late 50’s body, that looks like a Singer 201, which they say was made out of Aluminium recycled from WW2 Spitfires. The 191’s are a cast iron vertical oscillating hook straight stitch model with reverse stitch and a drop feed capability for free motion work. A potted sewing machine motor is a direct gear drive motor that attaches to the back of a Singer sewing machine and drives it via a gear on the balance wheel. Hese Canadian made machines used a potted motor which is direct drive with no belts, therefore there is no slippage, and no adjustments required. This Singer sewing machine is in pretty much immaculate condition! The decals are near 100% intact and bright and brilliant! The black enamel is in great shiny condition, absolutely stunning. All the nickel plated parts, slide plate, needle plate, front and side covers have been polished to shine and in top tier condition!
