Also the teak 101 does not have the external needle container. The seller claims it has a double spring, but the case does no look not deep enough for the double spring nr 32 motor that fitted the dual spring version of the 101. It could be genuine, these machines made for India are known for mixing up components from different periods.
Very interesting indeed.CarlosV wrote: Thu May 11, 2023 10:52 am It is different from mine and other teak 101's I have seen, their lids are framed while this has a flat lid.

I believe both side and front wind versions have the same cases (framed lid and bottom, no needle container), but Steve may confirm it. Mine is a front wind.poodling around wrote: Thu May 11, 2023 10:57 am
Now I think about it, didn't Steve once mention something about a rare India Teak side-wind 101 ? Maybe I am imagining it - but I seem to recall that he did ?
Yes, I did. I have two teak 101s, the first is the more often seen panelled lid version with front wind but the other is a side wind with solid lid.poodling around wrote: Thu May 11, 2023 10:57 amVery interesting indeed.CarlosV wrote: Thu May 11, 2023 10:52 am It is different from mine and other teak 101's I have seen, their lids are framed while this has a flat lid.

No, they don't actually, Carlos. The side wind version appears to have had a solid lid and bottom.CarlosV wrote: Thu May 11, 2023 2:07 pmI believe both side and front wind versions have the same cases (framed lid and bottom, no needle container), but Steve may confirm it.
