Riccar R650 - Page 9 Questions & Answers
To fix, or not to fix: Riccar 610 has broken bobbin case.
Check with the folks at the yahoo group "wefixit" -- you may find a bobbin case there from a machine someone has parted out, or you can part out your machine. And/or check with Ron Anderson at A1 sewing:
[email protected] -- he's always been helpful and has a good reputation for fast service, and telling you if something really isn't likely available and/or a machine isn't worth fixing. I've "known" him on the old usenet group alt.sewing for 20+ years, and he's always been helpful.
No model number on Riccar sewing machine
Riccar machines have model numbers placed in 1 of several places on their machines governed by, I suppose, the whims of the manufacturer and the most common places are on the back underneath the motor mount, on the right end bottom under the handwheel, and just under the bed of the machine, front. These numbers are going to be on a metal plate attached by 2 or more rivets. Should you see 2 or more small holes in the casting in any of these locations, it is possible that the plate has been removed. The number that you have supplied is the serial number, and it can be very difficult to determine the model number from this information as the machine is manufactured at a number of different plants/locations.
