The AT335 and other Pfaff 335 clones are mainly used as binding machines, most of the time these machines are setup like this. Meaning they have throat plates, feed dogs, presser feet and other attachments especially for binding operations. You can convert them but if the parts are not included it may cost you some extra $. However, you can use them with the existing parts as a regulars sewing machine as well but he binder throat plate is not entirely flat, they have a cut out on the right side where the binder attachment extents into the throat plate. Also, the 335 type machines are vertical hook sewing machines (you load them from the left side) whereas the 227 type machines like the CB227 are horizontal hook machine (you load them from the top). As far as I know the 227 type machines can handle thicker thread better that the 335 type machines. Guess you are living in the US, right? I ask because I recently have seen and unbelievable cheap offer for 335 machines in Germany. https://www.ebay-kleinanzeigen.de/s-anzeige/freiarm-leder-naehmaschine-mit-3-transportes-mit-ac-550w-motor/519759576-84-7526

Why not - we even have a computer problem section here. We already talked about other sewing machines earlier. As far as I know the German models all have a D in the model number when made prior 1945 and a G when produced from the 1950´s onwards but I´m not much into domestic or semi industrial Singers so there may be exceptions. Still think it is Japanese but not 100% sure.

A cam attachment? I think you mean the foot lift lever on the backside, right? When I look at the machines the only thing that the 807 could have in common with the 217 is the zigzag dial but thats in a different position. The Bernina 217 also is longer. I´d guess the Singer 807 is made in Japan but have no proof - just a guess.The "diarrhea colored" outer is something one has to like but I find it quite ugly. I´d rather look for a Pfaff 230 or the like because you have a better chance for finding parts accessories and manuals. But that does not mean that the 807 is a bad machine as long as it meets your requirements.

If you think the parts are tooo expensive - well you have a Pfaff machine! OEM Pfaff parts are generally more expensive. The machine seems to be not wide spread and so there is no big demand for parts meaning parts are more expensive. If you want cheap parts buy a Singer 111 based machine and you can get parts dirt cheap.

Offensive prices? Too cheap or too expensive?

Check the College Sewnig Website in GB. They ship worldwide and have a section for 1445 parts - they have lots of feet https://www.college-sewing.co.uk/store/Pfaff1445SewingMachineParts

I have linked a HSH-1-1 hook regarding their parts number so I guess the picture is wrong.

Ha - that's the same servo I had before (the 2nd servo I tried actually) - this annoying beeeeeep sound was a pain - I could not stand it.

As I said earlier, I have a CLAES manual in German language. Send me a PN if you are interested. We once collected some pictures of patcher machines in this thread

Pfaff sold machines of other brands (like Adler 5, Class 30...) under PFAFF INDUSTRUIA. I think I somewhere have seen a Adler Class 20 branded with PFAFF INDUSTRIA and I think they also build custom machines, maybe some of them needed 794 needles. Or maybe they just wanted to fill a gap in their needle range.

I have no such machine but a manual in German language of a Claes patcher which is very close to yours. File is too big to attach here and when I reduce the size the file it is of poor quality so if you are interested send me a PM

Just figured there were SV´s in 1913. Copied from ISMCS list: F- 3705085 3706084 46KSV24 1000 January/June 1913 Clydebank, Scotland So I think Singer always had SV´s of certain machines. Also found on needlebar.org http://needlebar.org/cm/displayimage.php?pid=7758 Note the "formerly known as..." So former SV´s machines became later standard machines. Maybe that was not always the case but at least some times.

Got them along with 45K machines and lots of odds and ends but I have no clue what machine they are fore. Maybe someone else knows.

I have these parts if you are interested let me know # 82551 + # 82525 for 45K and a complete hook (original Adler but fits Singer 17/18 and others too) + 1 bobbin

regarding 45K spring - there are 2 version. The old style is a one pice spring # 82454 but they are no longer available. Later type is made of 2 parts / 2 spings which are # 82551 + # 82525 regarding 18-3 shuttle. Seems your shuttle is missing the 2nd screw also - it holds the 2 tension spring. Do you have the 2nd screw and tension springs? However the tension screw on the shuttle seems to be Singer #504033 I guess thats the one you are missing. Did you get my PM?

Both machines are no longer in production the and Company Singer no longer has a factory or a storage facility. If you are looking for original Singer parts p you may have some luck when you contact some of the well known dealers who support this forum. Some may have some old stock parts but most likely most of the parts on todays market are after market parts from China. Some parts from other Singer machine may fit also. But it depends on what you are looking for in particular. Pictures parts numbers or the location (where is it fitted) of the needed parts are always helpful. F.i. I was looking for Singer 34K5 needle bar - no way to find one so I checked the diameter and length and compared I finally figured a needle bar of a Singer 31K and Singer 17 would ft - an after market part of course but it works well! Before I check att the 45K parts list for this spring - where it the tension spring located - pre tension or main tension or shuttle hook?

Sometimes its good to post pictures of the machine / the parts (if available) or pictures from a parts list. Some folks have unknown spare parts floating around and sometimes parts from other machines will fit too. So from just looking at the 42-5 I would guess that the tension unit of a Singer 16 or Singer 17 could fit http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1313.TR1.TRC0.A0.H0.Xtension+singer+16.TRS0&_nkw=tension+singer+16&_sacat=0&_oac=1 I think this is the shuttle hook https://www.college-sewing.co.uk/store/HSH11-HOOK-and-BASE-HIROSE

well, I doubt that there are many LW still using this type of motors. I only see 1 screw where you can adjust the clutch with (2nd picture center left - the one with the nut behind) but do not expect that this system has a smooooooth clutch. If you like the historical aspect try to adjust it - but if not better buy a servo motor instead.

I have an English instruction manual for the 3334 (but no machine). I can scan it but that may take some days. So here are some pictures with information which hopefully are helpful.

Found another SV on the web - Singer 45KSV99 http://www.jomimachines.co.uk/shop/uncategorized/singer-45k-sv99-industrial-sewing-machine/ Looks like a standard 45k with reverse...

What have you seen at the end of the internet? Maybe Isaac Merritt Singer sits there and says: "Now that you have found me I tell you that I have fooled you all"

I also think the dates list on ISMACS represent the casting date and not the actual machine production date. But that's a guess - of course. Back in the days I don´t think they have even thought a bout "Just in Time" production and logistics and had huge storage sheds and probably produced machines on demand - of course not just one machine at a time but also not necessarily when they did the casting. I don´t think they put the # on the casting when they have assembled the machine - I doubt that. But who knows - lots of speculations...

Die Maschinen ohne Untertransport sind Sackstopfmaschinen für Leder sind sie nicht geeignet.

Here is the Service Manual for 211G567 so it should cover your machine. Difference (I guess is) yours in made in Japan and the 211G567 is made in Germany. Service Manual Singer 211G146_151_157.pdf Hope this helps
