Thanks for the replies so far. I already informed with the previous owner, but she inhereted the machine from her great uncle and she had no more spare parts. It had been used as a plant stand for the last 15 of years and you don't need a working machine for that ;-). But I think I know what I need now. Besides the vibrating presser spring, I will need the regulating lever Slide Block (8625), washer(8625), clamping screw (515) and tension regulating thumb nut(1562). Unfortunately these few items will cost me about 3x as much as I paid for the entire patcher and that's without shipping fees to the Netherlands. But I guess hobbies cost money :-) Many thanks for your help.

I'm looking for some help to identify a missing part for a Singer 29k1 patcher. I recently found a Singer 29k1 patcher for a very decent price. It hadn't been used for at least 40 years and the inside was clogged up with dirt, so hardly any part moved easily. So I wasn't able to try it out but it looked fine and it was a real bargain . After cleaning and oiling everything moved smoothly again, but there was no pressure on the presser foot and without pression obviously the presser foot cannot transport the material. I did some research and the machine seems to be missing a bar and a matching adjustment screw at the back (see the red square in enclosed image). There are many part lists on the Internet for for the Singer 29k1, such as here: https://www.universalsewing.com/images2/parts_lists/all/jf0hksoh.pdf . But if you don't know what this part looks like exactly, what is called or what the number is, it is hard to tell which is the part you need. So my question is: does anyone know the name and/or serial number for the metal rod/bar and adjustment screw to regulate the pressure on the presser foot? Your help would be much appreciated! Kind regards from The Netherlands, Joyce
