busted bobbin
168de...@gmail.com
Im amazed to see that there is a group such as this - but what a
wonderful surprise! I was expecting "no matches found" response when
I searched for a 319K bobbin case.
I inherited my lovely 319K from my mother. Up till now its been
working beautifully but last week (while sewing vinyl) I broke a
needle and it seems that the needle has put a nick in the bobbin case
and as a result, the bottom thread is forming masses of loops.
Ive been advised to buy a new machine but I know how good these
machines are.
Does anyone know where I may be able to source a replacement 319K
bobbin case?
Alternatively - is there anything else that can be done to repair the
case? I did see the pictures of the modified bobbin case and perhaps
this is a possibility.
Finally, can anyone recommend someone who might know how to fix this
for me?
I can post the bobbin case anywhere. The machine can be delivered to
locations in Melbourne or Canberra.
Many thanks (in advance) to anyone who can help

Lisa,
Can you post a picture of the bobbin case? I don't know which bobbin
case you need, but bobbin cases are usually fairly easily replaced.

Lisa,
You can get a new bobbin case from these people
I have no connection with them, but I have found they seem to carry
quite a few parts.
You can probably find other places, have you contacted your local sewing
machine repair person to see if they can get you the part you need?

A cursory Google search brought up
http://www.diamondsewing.com.au/prod.asp who say they have bobbin cases
for the Singer 319 in stock.

John over at 221 sales has it.

I suspect you have the manual for this machine, so you know it uses
special sized needles (it doesn't take universal size).

Lisa, if you have no luck with any of the other suggestions offered, you
could try Roger Smith at the Statewide Sewing Centre in Sydney Rd Coburg in
Melbourne. 03 93541936. He's been servicing sewing machines for a long time
and has been very helpful with parts for some of my older machines.

The 319K was made in the 50s and was not a popular model compared to teh
15 series, 201, 301, 401, 500/501, etc., and there aren't that many of
them around.
Although when looking up the manufacture dates to be accurate, I did
find a place in Australia that sells pats to vintage machines and has
them for $55: http://www.diamondsewing.com.au/prod.asp

Far easier and not too expensive to replace.

You could try Sew Simple in Altree Court, Woden, Canberra. They are the
only ones I'd trust in Canberra now.

I posted the above before doing a hunt for the following info which might be
a better place to start:
Diamond Sewing Services P/P
5a/165 Currumburra Rd Ashmore 4214 (Gold Coast Qld)
07 5564 9888
I've used these people in the past for one of my a bobbin case for one of my
old Singers and they provided a great postal service. It's been a while
since I used them though, so you should check the address before posting
anything off to them.
Just did a quick google and they get a lot of hits so they should still be
around and active.

Drat! I should have read the whole thread before going off to hunt through
my files. If I'd bothered to read the whole thread before swinging into
action, I'd have known that I only had to concur with your suggestion and
endorse the service they've given me in the past. Why do I never learn?
