This listing is for a professional reproduction of the Singer Manufacturing Co. Service Manual for Class 478 Sewing Machines. This service Manual is also applicable to Singer sewing machines of classes 457, 466 and 477. This is NOT a standard "Xerox" copy of the Singer manual! It is

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 50 years.
In fact, if we didn't tell you,
you could not tell the difference
between this manual and the
original manual!
This 51-page full-size Service Manual is complete and very clean with no "black dots," smudges, stains, or any other imperfections. No pages are missing, dirty, or damaged.

These service instructions are very detailed and utilize diagrams and illustrations to make it easy to understand and carry out the instructions. In most cases a simple tool, like a screwdriver, is needed to do the task. And, once you know what to do, you may be able to perform the timing or the adjustment in just a couple of minutes! And when needed, you may be able to expertly remove and replace every single part of the machine!

IMPORTANT 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.
