Hi Glenn,
I thought so. I would love to look at your - newer - copy.
Could you disclose the modification needed for the use of #138 thread ?

Total size is 45 MB, so I cannot attach the file here. Is there an other option to upload the file in some other place?
@shoepatcher could you describe how to use #138 thread and the few modifications?
... managed to squeeze the file. Instruction book for Pfaff 335 old casing.

Thanks everyone, problem is solved! Like @Uwesaid, at some point the outer presser bar was adjusted to accommodate aftermarket feet (probably due to the feet that were available in the 90s).
For those who come here with the same issue. There is a collar on the rear presser bar with two set screws that determines the height of the outer foot. You need to temporarily disconnect the upper knee lift linkage and a lifting bracket to access the set screws. Loosen the set screws and you can lower the rear presser foot to just above the needle plate. Reassemble and the outer presser foot should be resting just above the needle plate, ready to sew!
This is nicely illustrated in this video:

Does anyone know this company (https://www.miketony.com.tw/en/product-c34798/Hook-And-Shuttle-Hook.html)?

Contec, a sewing machine dealer in Poland, apparently has the very needlebar you are looking for:

I too have a Pfaff 545 H4.
If you do a search for the german word for needlebar "Nadelstange" you will get some results; for instance:
I hope that this could be of help for you.

These hooks, produced in Japan (https://www.college-sewing.co.uk/hpf151-hook-base-pfaff-145-hirose.html). Are they not supposed to be of better quality?

No answer, what a pitty.
I have a Pfaff 335 with Erz. Nr. (which, as I understand, is an abbrevation for "Erzeugnis Nummer = product number) "901-0335-044/001".
I do not know if this is a H2, H3 or H4 machine or has classification B/C M N.
The problem is how to translate these Erz. Nr. to the usual subclass numbers (as -17/03 or -40/03) or B/C-classification.I could buy a used Pfaff 1245 with Erz. Nr. 901-0335-044/01, but I stay away buying this machine because I do not know if it has the classification CPMN etc.
So there are these Pfaff machines - mostly those cream-colored ones with brown front plate - where Pfaff did not imprint the usual B/C M N etc, but only the Erz. Nr.
This is utterly frustrating!

Thank you, Glenn. I thought there was more to it.
As to the parts list. I have a parts list "Pfaff 335" "Bestandteileliste" with no "No. 296-12-14075/1077". Is this the list that you refer to as from 1989?
