Color: Rare Mid-Century Tan (Cast Aluminum Body)
Origin: Kilbowie, Scotland (K-Series)
Overview: This is a beautiful example of the Singer 306K, a high-performance, semi-industrial domestic machine known for its smooth full-rotary hook and exceptional stitch quality. Unlike the standard black models, this tan version features a lightweight aluminum body and a sought-after front-mounting cam system.
Mechanical Condition:
Tested & Running: The machine has been powered on and runs smoothly. The motor is strong and the needle bar moves freely. It may need a tune-up and some oil.
Stitch Capability: Performs a perfect straight stitch and zigzag. It includes the original front-mounting fluted knob and one "Fashion Disc".
Needle Requirement: Please note this machine requires 206x13 needles (readily available online). Using standard household needles is not recommended for this model.
Electrical & Cosmetic Note:
Foot Pedal: Includes the original foot controller, which is fully functional.
Integrated Light: The wiring to the light housing has been disconnected/cut due to age and will require rewiring if you wish to use the built-in lamp.
Aesthetics: The machine is in great vintage condition with a lovely tan finish. It is housed in its original wooden base as shown in the photos.
