Can anyone help me find this take-up lever
Gregg From Keystone Sewing replied to iron1951's topic in Leather Sewing Machines
I don't think so, but I'll check too. I had to look up the model, never heard of the 21W, looks like a very old needle feed top load. Interesting and very nice looking model. -
Frustrated by Consew 199 - Timing Issues
Gregg From Keystone Sewing replied to spotty's topic in Leather Sewing Machines
Check the timing using the needle bar. Most 199RB made by Stager in Japan like your Consew have timing marks on the needle bar. Bottom ring is for BDC or bottom dead center from the bottom of the needle bar rock frame, and then turn the handwheel over in a sewing motion or counter clockwise and the upper ring on the needle bar is inline with the bottom. -

Frustrated by Consew 199 - Timing Issues
Gregg From Keystone Sewing replied to spotty's topic in Leather Sewing Machines
Well, if you are ever in Philadelphia and I have one on hand...That guy is about 363 Kilo, or 800LBS. Here's a spec sheet for the machine see attached. CordesSpecsGreggNotes.pdf -
We had a Pfaff 335 that was rebuilt in new like condition. It was missing three or four parts, available genuine Pfaff only. Total cost on needed parts? Well over $800USD ten years ago. We can only get say $1,000 for the machine rebuilt on a new stand. So, investing $800 was not a good plan. I forget what happened the machine eventually, but the point is that it may be more cost effective to just buy another machine than to go down the rabbit hole with these two. But, I don't know.

Good information here already. Here's a video I made that may help explain hook timing and needle distance on YouTube Click Here -
Pfaff 1245 feed dog problem
Gregg From Keystone Sewing replied to hpz's topic in Leather Sewing Machines
Agreed, this is the first thing I thought of. It's actually pretty common, and a good feed setup for some people. -

The clutch motor....
Gregg From Keystone Sewing replied to Dakotanorth's topic in Leather Sewing Machines
We like the motor a lot too. It's been very reliable. I DO have concerns about adding a speed reducer into the mix, as I have not had a lot of luck with my testing. I love the simple plus and minus button that makes it easy to change speed at 100RPM at a time without a complex timed button sequence. Also, the motor is a real torque monster, and may not even need a reducer, but depending on your work, the reducer is key. As for the motor, your FedEx shipment was canceled, not your order. This morning she said that the motor is on the way, scheduled for delivery today via UPS. All the best, glad that you are enjoying the motor. -

3d printed a smaller pulley
Gregg From Keystone Sewing replied to stor's topic in Leather Sewing Machines
Looks great, that is an odd size. We hosted a an exchange student from Salamanca over two summers, and then went to stay with his family, in Salamanca for two weeks. We had their old apartment, and they were more than accommodating. It was a great two weeks they took us everywhere and treated us like family. -
3d printed a smaller pulley
Gregg From Keystone Sewing replied to stor's topic in Leather Sewing Machines
Is it a tapered bore pulley? Some new and old motors still used them, and you can get them in a variety of sizes if that's the case. -
