Absolutely beautiful. Love the width of the belt!

What's on the other side? Are these riveted or threaded for a nut? I could make small quantities of these on a lathe.

Got it. The machine stitches fine without the guide, so I'll take a wait and see approach.

Does not look broken, maybe grinded off cleanly. Or may be there are different styles of the needle bars out there?

There is a tapered grove on the left side of the needle bar as in the attached picture. Should there be also a thread guide as for example in Juki 553 to guide the thread onto that grove? I did some googling but could not find any hi res pictures of the needle bar with any guides. Thank you!

Thank you all for setting me straight!

Does that mean both 134 and 135 are good? Pardon my ignorance, but what is the difference?

Hi all, Tried googling but could not get a definitive answer regarding needle system of Pfaff 335-17. The dealer who sold it to me told me it was 135-16. But the dealer whom I usually buy supplies from sells 190LR needles for this machine. Looking primarily for the size 18-24 leather point needles, but going to need some smaller textile needles too. Could leather and textile needles be of a different system for this machine? Appreciate your input!
