I may have some 29x3 but most likely no leather tips - will check...

You are welcome

Jep - they are all dead - the website singerco.com no longer exists but someone is still holding the domain. Glad I saved a lot of manuals on my hard drive. Here is your manual Singer 16 Manual.pdf

I assume the needle is similar to 328 / 214x1 since the GA5-1 / GA5-5 sewing machine is mentioned and AFAIK they take 328 needles - but I may be wrong. EDIT: just found this https://www.ebay.com/itm/TWENTY-SEWLINE-NEEDLES-FOR-SL-5-1-and-GA-5-1-45-230-INDUSTRIAL-SEWING-MACHINE-/222275233412 scroll down to the machine list - Singer 45 is mentioned so is must be the 214x1 / 328 needle but better check with the machine seller.

Oh - haven´t noticed you posted the pictures... Sorry! Please send me your Email address by PM and I will immediately send the PDF´s Nice machine! Not all shown parts are for the Class 5 actually. The smaller feet with long tongue on the backside seem to be from a PHOENIX machine but I´m not 100% sure. Some other bits possibly too. EDIT: found your email address - return to sander at Gmail dot com - files are on the way EDIT II: you may find the motor to be uncomfortably fast - a modern servo motor and in a addition a 1:3 speed reducer will make this machine way more comfortable to use. But first try out everything and maybe it works for you.

Holy Shit - what a beast Yeah - really - 2 extremes - a Chinese patcher and than this thing... kinda double quantum jump, I´d say. ah - well - can it handle #96 thread and can I sew 2 oz leather with it Looking forward to see thing thing running

So why marrying at all? For "love"? For saving taxes? For a stupid "the most wonderful day in your life" moment (or two, or three, or...)? For traditional reasons? Come on...

psssst... wanna buy a Singer lamp?

Ouh - interesting! You learn something new everyday - but yet only the 331 (needle feed ) or has anyone seen this on a 335 (triple feed) too. I didn´t but I´m open to "broaden my mind" . Looks like it has a risen throat plate compared with he 335. Would be nice if someone could show technical details. Wondering how it works... I see the advantage of the very narrow foot!

I would like to see that - can you make a quick video? Andreica - I just found this on the web - machine is located in Slovenia https://www.netbid.com/Auktionen/Detail-Ueberblick/20606675-Pfaff-335-H3-6-01-900-52-Nähmaschine/

BTW - I have a stand like in the picture with the 1st 45K machine - this sooner or later will be set up as my kitchen table. The plate I finished approx 1yr ago but still haven´t it fully set up --- will be my next project to finish (I hope) Preview - pictures from approx 1 yr ago

ouh - sweet (I´m missing the drooling smiley here). Certain people probably would kill for these tables Unfortunately an overkill for me - spacewise. In the City of Bielefeld (Home of Dürkopp-Adler) is a complete factory (now a museum) who have similar tables (but Baer & Rempel made) and it is still fully set up with machines and all that other stuff. Not sure if I ever have shown the picture - here are just a few...

The small diameter cylinder arm machines (the ones with a cap / cover on the tip) that I know of ALL DO NOT not have 4 motion drop feed they ALL have feed dogs that go back and forth only. If you want a 4 motion drop feed cylinder arm machine an Adler 169, Pfaff 345, Consew 227R, Seiko CW-8, Juki 341 /1341 or similar is what you need. But they have a a larger diameter cylinder. But even on the Pfaff 345 and Adler 169 (maybe others too) there could be subclasses with no 4 motion feed - you never know... best advise always is to test the machine before buying. But I honestly think it does not make a huge difference if you have a 4 motion feed dog or not. My opinion. Toxo - I thought you wanted to buy the 69-372 on ebay you sent me a link of. You did not? Adler 69 and Pfaff 335 can be tricky - there are a lot of different subclasses and they were used for a lot of different application and not only for leather work. If you cannot test them or have a list of subclasses you could easily end with something you do not want. Keep in mid even when the tag says f.i. 69-373 it s always possible that the machine has been modified for different applications (f.i. for binding)...

the small screw could be from the tension unit but maybe too long... or it is from a presser foot but not sure though . reg. skipping stitches - check the needle / hook timing , it often happens that the needle bar rises a little bit and the hook is not catching the thread loop. Adjustment values and procedure are all in the manual - guess you have one, right? If no you can download it here: 206RB-5 Instruction Manual - Consew

Grüezi in die Schweiz, If you don´t mind please post some pictures of your machine and the accessories. There is not much documentation on there web and this is the best place to share information, pictures and experiences. But please open a new thread for this. And as a reward I will send you a German language manual and a sales brochure - how is that? Give and take

Your machine is not set up for attaching binders. I`m not sure if 1341 and 341 is the same machine (I think so but do not know for sure). When you google 341 binder you will find a binder bracket for this machine quickly. https://www.ebay.com/itm/143221072022 So thats the basic bracket, this thingy enables you to attach "simple" binders to a 341 (!!!) but I do not know if they work with your machine since yours is a 1341 as you say. If you want a OEM JUKI 1341 synchronized binder setup you can buy complete sets. This thread here may be helpful for you.

EFKA for sure has something to control these features but expect that it cots way way (way) more than the sewing machine it self. HOHSING also has higher end motors that can control some features but to be honest I never looked this up. https://www.efka.net/en/ http://www.hohsing.com/index.php/en/ I would guess you have to spend approx 1K or so. CS in the UK has EFKA servos: https://www.college-sewing.co.uk/ab321-dc1550-efka-servo-motor.html

135x17 is a needle for cloth / woven materials and 135x16 is a needle for leather and similar material with a cutting tip There are a lot of different leather tips depending on how you want your seams to look like.

You are buying a sewing machine for your business and / or to sew protective masks - no better reason!

Gregg from Keystone Sewing once posted this sheets - looks like yours is 1953/54 made.

You are welcome I do not know this subclass but I would guess it takes the same feet as the 7-33 but better check with a dealer f.i. those who have adverts on top of this page (if you don´t use an ad blocker) Cowboy Bob from Toledo Sewing Machines and Gregg from Keystone Sewing Machines already replied here - I would check with them.

heard of that - crazy people

dikman - the 335 I have seen have 5mm stitch length - not too bad I´d say. And they are actually compound feed or to be more precise unison feed / triple feed (top, drop & needle feed). The only difference is that the feed dog is not oscillating instead it just goes back and forth but from what I have experienced & read it does not make a big difference when a feed dog is not oscillating on a triple feed machine. But experiences can be different of course.

if it was me I would take off the fly wheel (or hand knob?) and measure the shaft. Parts diagrams usually do not show these measures.

Adler 48 are funny little machines but the bobbins are really small (somewhere between Singer 29K small and Pfaff 335 old style). They share the same hook with the Singer 17. I can send you and english manual for the 48 and a German language sales brochure showing different subclasses of the 48 but don´t ask for a translation. Send me your email address by PM if you are interested. I had a 48 class machine but not the 48-4. AFAIK the 48-4 foot is a jump foot and is not driven just as on Singer 133K8 and Singer 31K19 and the like.
