Repair Parts Installed, Patcher On Line...

i bought one of those in full working order on its original stand

I too have a 29-4 in excellent condition, its never been stored , has never been out of service. I need the flat spring on the rocker arm (thread end) that helps tighten the stitch, could you put me in contact with your guy Bob for parts

It is Bob Kovar, from Toledo OH... he is a member of this Forum, "sewmun" is his ID.... he has a Toll Free number posted in all his posts, and elsewhere through out the Forum... so I don't think it would be out of line to list it here... (866)362-7397 M-F usual business hours, Eastern Standard Time... (OH)

I can't say whether or not he has your exact part... but he did have all the "Major" parts that I required for my re-build, including day to day items like; needles, bobbins, thread and he was able to answer my questions too.... So he may have that spring you need, or may know where to get one....

I've found him to be "Very" helpful, and when all others failed me... he had the hard to locate parts that I needed "Instock..." and shipped them out promptly... So I would highly recommend him, for the A++ service I've received.

I'll also add that I have NO vested interest in his Company... [i've noted that appears to be a concern elsewhere in this forum... so I'll add that statement in lieu of the fact.]

I've actually got the full stand too... and Bob actually managed to locate an Original Drawer, though I'm under no illusions as to the rarity of them, and consider that a fortunate find indeed. I'm still in the process of getting it all back together, and with this big snow storm this past week... my Stand is buried out in my Garage, which remains inaccessible for the present... at least until the snow melts a bit, or I get my Son to dig it out... [detached two car garage, used for my 3 season shop...]

My next project for it will be to locate a set of plans for an "extension table" and build one... I've seen some images of them around on the Internet, and on the auction sites and figure I can make one for something less than they are asking for a shinny oak plank... I just would like to work off a set of plans, why reinvent the wheel as they say...

I do plan on posting a couple more pics of it as I get the Patcher completed.... but I'm glad to hear there are others out there using this venerable Patcher. I've been looking for one for about a year, and finally came across one I could afford on Craig's List... and while it needed some TLC, fortunately I was able to get it up and running without "Too Much" pain...

Good Luck to you with your Patcher...

when i bought mine i paid £100 the man who had it was using it for an ornament in his front room (it came with the little drawer and feet and other accessories) which is all im doing at the moment i cant sew a straight line to save my life i think im suffering from hand and feet discordination
