Esheeran; I sent a message to you yesterday. check your in basket.

Good morning Guys. moved this "topic" to the used machines for sale forum. I need to move this machine along to a new caretaker.

Time to move my 346 along to a new caretaker. I picked up this cylinder arm machine about three years ago and have had it in dry storage since. While recommissioning it recently, I found that it does not reliably pick up the bobbin thread. This adjustment is beyond my skill set. Buyer gets the machine, table and clutch motor. A table/insert to provide a flat surface, a 3-ring binder with useful info such as manuals and parts list. Pickup on west central Connecticut. $400.00. EDIT: I put some time into inspecting and rectifying the machine and now have the left hand needle position sewing. test reply by gary

A new to me Pfaff double needle 346-H2. Won't pick up the bobbin thread. Ya, I've tried moving the rotary hook closer to the needle scarf. Used the needle bar clamp and gauge. (1.8mm). finally called in a repair guy from the local sewing machine shop that serviced industrial machines. No joy, couldn't "fix" it. There has got to be something I'm missing here. The repairer say the hooks are probably worn out? No, it has never sewn for me. Just now starting to get it recommissioned after picking it up a couple years ago. . SOOOO... what am I missing? OR, anyone know of a replacement part for these rotary hooks? I can't find any info on interchangeable parts/modern made. Are any Pfaff single needle machine parts interchangeable? I found a resource that suggests that the 335 machine shares many parts with the 346, such as rotary hooks. Can someone confirm this?
