How old is your Merrow?
We have added this fun tool onto our website and right here in the community. It can be found on the Community homepage right at the top in the middle of the page.. I bet some of you A class and 60 class owners will fall right out of your seat when you see how old they are and experience how well they are still running.

My A-3DW was made between 1949 and 1950. It is 60 years old and almost able to retire,,,, but not yet. This baby is not ready for pasture. At 63 I have had 2 bypass's, I have been re-knee'd and my spine has seen the knife but I doubt this little guy has ever had the cover removed. I said it before,,, I can't see how a new one would run any better. No planned obsolescence in these machines. GM, Ford and Chrysler could take some notes.
And beside that, with all the trial and error I have done I now have, what I believe to be, the largest privately held collection of feed eccentrics in the known world. I finally got my stitch down pat. Close, tight and ready for any emblem that comes along. All I have to do is practice on those corners. It appears I lack the Oriental gene required for smooth, consistant cornering but I am a mad man on square patches.

I tried to adjust the lower looper so that the point was slightly above the eye of the needle. This required an adjustment of the upper looper and when adjusting the upper looper it snapped in two. I…See More

Linda Chan replied to Linda Chan's discussion 'New' old Merrow 60w"Hello Charlie,
I have left messages with Hoffman Brothers and have not received a response as of yet. I have, however, found that the bubbler on the machine was just loose and that is why it was leaking. It still does not sew properly. Do you know…"
