Description:
This
listing is for a professional reproduction of the Singer
Manufacturing Co. Service Manual for Singer 401, 401A sewing
machines. This is NOT a standard “Xerox” copy of the Singer
manual! This manual is precisely scanned using a professional
high-resolution scanner, to prepare an exact duplicate of the
original Singer manual on a CD, in PDF format.
Unlike
most original 60 year old manuals that have become frail, brittle,
mildewed, stained and yellowed after so many years, this manual looks
like an original Singer manual that has been preserved in MINT
CONDITION!
Just
like a new Singer manual, this manual on CD is complete with all the
original text, diagrams, tables, and photos. It is super clean with
no stains or any other imperfections!
This
manual on CD is in easy to use PDF format. All the pages (including
the color cover pages) and diagrams are readable on your computer
monitor screen and are also easily printable.
You
will be able to view and read page by page on your monitor screen,
print any single page, or print the entire manual, if you so desire.
Almost
all computer users have a PDF reader. However, if you need a PDF
reader, you can download a free Adobe Reader from the following link:
get.adobe.com/reader/
If
you ever decide to print the entire manual, including the 2 cover
pages, it will most likely look exactly like the original Singer
manual.
We
printed the entire manual from this CD
on
24 Lb semi-gloss off-white paper,
and
the resulting manual is almost identical
to
our original 60-year old Singer manual.
The
printed manual is super clean with no stains or any imperfections.

In
fact, if we didn’t tell you,
you
could not tell the difference
between
this manual, printed from the CD,
and
our original Singer manual!
This
42-page
full-size
Service Manual
on CD is complete and very clean with no “black dots,”
smudges, stains, or any other imperfections. No pages are missing,
dirty, or damaged.
The
manual includes descriptions and illustrations which will show you
how to do the following

adjustment in just a couple of minutes!

NOTE
eBay
5-Star Rating System
:
Due
to eBay’s new Star rating system and it’s lack of explanation and
clarity, I would like to try to give you an insight as to how it
affects our business. You would think that a 4 star rating would be
good as eBay says. Not So! Anything less than a 5 star rating on all
categories might as well be a Negative feedback score. If you are not
completely satisfied with any transaction and believe it to be our
fault, your fault or nobodies fault, contact us and we will take care
of the problem.

:
1.
We inventory and have in stock every item that we list for sale.
