Description:

This listing is for a professional reproduction of the Singer Manufacturing Co. “Service Manual for Series 240 Singer Sewing Machines 242 and 248.” This manual is also applicable to Singer 247, 547 and 876 Sewing Machines. This is NOT a standard "Xerox" copy of the Singer manual! It is professionally printed on the same heavy-weight brilliant-white paper as the original Singer manual! It is super clean, the text and the illustrations are very sharp, and it is nearly identical in size and in paper type to the original Singer manual. This manual is not a bunch of pages stapled at the top corner. This manual is professionally bound, just like the original Singer manual.

Unlike the original 45 year old manual that has become frail, brittle, mildewed, stained and yellowed after so many years, this manual looks like an original Singer manual that has been preserved in NEW CONDITION!

Just like the Singer company printed their manual on their in-house printing press, we printed this manual on our in-house printing press. This manual may also serve you for the next 45 years.

In fact, if we didn't tell you,

you could not tell the difference

between this manual and the

original manual!
