The Singer Model 185K Sewing Machine: A Brief Overview

The Singer 185K sewing machines were produced in the Kilbowie factory in Scotland between 1958 and mid-1963. These machines were essentially a cosmetically re-packaged electric version of the long-serving model 99K, sharing many of the same mechanisms and parts. Interestingly, in May 1963, the 185 was replaced by the Singer 285, which looked almost identical externally but featured a different underbed mechanism with a rack and pinion to operate the oscillating hook.

Here are some key details about the Singer 185K:

• Size: 3/4 full size (12-1/2" base)
• Motor: Singer BAK or BZK-5 (external with V belt)
• Needle: 15X1 (Flat to right)
• Bobbin: Class 66
• Finish: Tan/Brown (for British 185K) or Green (for US 185 and Canadian 185J
