Randy: Thanks for your commentary. I recently purchased one of these machines on eBay, primarily because it was advertised as "heavy duty"! I need to sew a lot of denim, and other heavier fabrics. It proved to be as you said, "a good little machine", but I had a problem with the sprang that holds the bobbin case not staying in place, allowing the case to move about, with the resultant thread tangling. The info about the "Superpower", as well as the other info was very enlightening. Thanks again! :-)
I've wanted any working sewing machine for years that wasn't too pricey.... and, last night: found one at the dumpster at my complex, free! I'm so excited!
I owned a variant of this, a Singer Super Elegance with a ton of stitches on it. It may not have been a heavy duty machine, but I managed some pretty heavy projects on it, and did so for almost 20 years. It had (and it drove me bonkers) tension issues that just got so bad I finally only used it for short fast seams as it would go out of adjustment constantly and birdnest. I tried replacing the tension system, but could not source out the parts at the time. Then, the Singer slaughter took place, one night, after sewing kids Halloween costumes until 5 am, I stumbled onto this machine (which I put on the floor like a moron) with the pedal still plugged into the port. Well, what does a plastic port do when you step on it. This was yet another part here in Canada I could not source out, and the machine (I was never told about the ceramic construction, I always thought it was a die cast machine) and I sent it off to it's reward as a parts machine. Damned thing cost me over 500 bucks before tax in 1988, now I know why. It was a dependable machine with lots of feet and features on it for its time, and it was electronic so far as the pedal was concerned, but overall, with the exception of that tensioner assembly (which failed on a lot of these machines, including the wife's, a model she had with less features, and that was a few years older than mine). I'm now kind of understanding why they must have been so failure prone...understanding how they operated. I'm betting a lot of what happened to my own was constantly threading and rethreading it, and tampering with the tension adjustments, etc. Over time, and under duress, I'm guessing the spring action must have gotten a little loose and wreaked havoc on the machine. If it hadn't been for the tensioning issues, and my killing the pedal port (and lack of parts availability for this era of Singer machines here in Canada), I would still be sewing on it, and not my current machines. She loved hers, but got disenchanted for the same reasons I did when I ditched mine...the tension issues.
I just got one of these from a friend and only had to replace the foot. I may have to fix the rewinder, as it's super stiff, but I can't figure out how to get the top off. I wanted to do what I could on my own, but I may need to get it serviced haha.
Put a drop of oil at the base of the bobbin winder as it’s visible from the top. There’s no need to remove the top to oil it. Get it turning and the oil will work it’s way to where it needs to be. Once it’s spinning freely, engage it to the hand wheel and start winding bobbins. DONT OVER OIL IT. One or two drops where the axle goes through the bearing will be enough to enable you to start moving it by hand.
Randy thank you for sharing such a beautiful video lm now inspired to start projects ,just recently l saw singer5910 harmony in the dealer shop is it worth it ,will it work just as this one Thank you
Be sure to power it up and test it. That’s the only way to know if it’s going to work. If you’re buying it from a dealer, it should come with a limited warranty of at least 30 days to give it a good test. Good luck.
I’m a newbie who knows nothing about sewing. I need to shorten the length of a few polo shirts from the crotch area up to just below my waist. Will this sewing machine do the job? Also is there a tutorial on using this sewing machine? It’s just too expensive for a tailor to do this considering my shirts are less than $10 each. Plus, I can do other things with the sewing machine. Thx.
It should be capable of hemming and shortening your shirts. Be sure to wind the bobbins properly and don’t use a heavy thread. (Use all-purpose thread) The bobbins are exclusive to that machine, so be sure to use the correct ones. Put the tension on (4) and be sure to use the proper threading procedure ( I have a video on that process ) Get a brand new size 14 Schmetz (stretch) needle for knit fabric. Install the needle with the flat side facing to the rear. (To the back) Good luck. 😎
Hi Randy! Does the Singer 9410 need to be oiled and if so where? My manual doesn't show me anything beyond cleaning the bobbin case. When you said that one was dry I panicked.
Any rotating shaft (upper and lower) needs oil where it passes through the carrier bearings. Anything that rotates, slides, or spins needs a drop of oil occasionally. Most importantly, the bearing under the rotating hook assembly ( under the bobbin case) needs oil as well.
I'm a beginner and my mom gave me this sewing machine model, singer 9410, but I'm struggling why the top thread won't catch the bobbin thread, is there wrong with its parts maybe? ☹️
First make sure that your needle is installed properly. The flat side of your needle faces to the rear of the machine, away from the operator. If that doesn’t fix the problem, it’s going to be a timing issue. Good luck. 🍀
@@randyyoursewingmachineman9954 yes, i believe i correctly installed the needle, I'll try having it checked for repair I guess, thank you so much for the advice 😊
@@joycenicolas772 to double check the needle, find the groove on the front of the needle and put your thumbnail in it. Trace the groove with your nail from the eye of the needle to the top where the shank begins to flare out. Can’t find the groove? Needle is in exactly backwards. 😎👍🏼 When you say “I believe” it’s in correctly, I have to reiterate. When you say “I know” it’s installed correctly, then you can move on to the next possibility. I have made a handsome amount of money driving to people’s houses and turning their needle around when they were “pretty sure” and absolutely sure that it was correct. It happens.
Howdy there mr randy. I know i am commenting on a 2 year old video ... However, i just bought a singer model 7033, but the transducer broke.... I bought a new one and have been trying to replace it. The problem I'm having is that when i hook it up and plug it in it wont work at all.... The light turns on, and it used to work well.... Not sure if im wiring it incorrectly or if the transducer i bought is junk.... Or something else.
The wire clips have to be in the right place. They’re a pretty straightforward plug and play. Anything made these days can be defective, so that’s a consideration. Make sure there’s not a hole (leak) in your tube or foot device. I put the open end to my skin to see if it will expel air, then I observe whether it will it hold the suction against my skin. Underneath my forearm works.
Randy, I provide a free sewing class for young people ages 10-18 and rely on donated sewing machines for the class. I received a Singer 9410 but the race and bobbin case are not installed properly. Do you have a video that could help me install it properly?
Have you ever tried using a walking foot on this model? I've tried 2 different kinds ( a Singer brand and a Madame sew but cannot get the needle to go down all the way when on. Any suggestions?
Many of these machines came with a Singer walking foot in the accessories. Make sure you have the proper walking foot for your machine. If your machine uses “slant” sewing feet, make sure your walking foot is for a slant machine also.
The disassembly of the bobbin case area can be a challenge for a novice. Put a drop of oil on the rotating hook that revolves around the bobbin case. All the other oiling points involve removing shrouds and covers. It’s complicated. It would be best, for that model Singer, to take it to a competent professional.👍😎
@@randyyoursewingmachineman9954 hi randy i have a singer 6235 that runs with the transducer.i purchased it from a thrift store and didn't notice that the tip of the transducer was broken.i tried searching for the part online and sewing shops but it was either not available or costs more than the machine itself.i there anyway i can convert it from air transducer to electronic foot pedal please. help me
Those air controls are available online and not expensive. If that’s all it needs you’ll be ok. If it needs a lot of other repairs and replacements, you might just skip it altogether. The machine is unique and different, but not on my list of recommended machines.
@@randyyoursewingmachineman9954 I don't know what all it needs. I know it's not locked up. I know it's missing the needle plate maybe the bobbing case? I'm not sure at this moment. I just found it in the back of my workshop. Didn't even know that it was there had. I guess it been moving around and realize that I sewing machine was there until I started repairing three other sewing machines I had don't know where it came from. Don't know who's it was. I don't know anything about it, just noticed it was there. One day might be an interesting project one day to mess with when I get done with all the others
I have a singer imperial 7043. It has the same kind of foot pedal. In the middle of sewing, it stopped running. I almost thought I had a short. It runs for a second and stops. Now it won't run. I started to look around and found this air bubble/bladder thing in the pedal. Could my problem be an air leak in the pedal or a bad transducer?
Make sure that the air tube is tight on the end of the transducer. They can slip off. If the air bulb has lost its seal or split, they can be replaced easily. The foot control comes with a new tube if you have to replace it. Transducers do go bad at times, but the malfunction is usually in the air foot control or air tube.
@randyyoursewingmachineman9954 It is connected good. I took it in and out a few times. I guess I will order the pedal. The machine has barely been used so I guess it's worth it. Can I replace the bulb or do I just order the foot control? Thank you so much for your help.
@@aleb5195 just get the control and cord. The way to test to see if it’s the control that’s bad, get a straw and blow some air in the end of the transducer. If the motor takes off, it will mean it’s a bad air controller. Or, put your finger over the end of the cord and squeeze the foot control. If the pressure doesn’t hold, it’s a leaky air control.
@@randyyoursewingmachineman9954 I did what you said. The straw worked. I am not so patiently waiting for the arrival of a new pedal.

Do you offer a discount for multiple machines? I have 3 that need regular maintenance and 2 that could use a complete overhaul.

So old parts are still worth keeping for when in need of buying a new sewing machine? Also are mechanical ones better than the computerized ones?
