    @BrickCityBeasts Did you take the large screw out of this clamp? Or is it missing?

    When you put the needle plate back on make sure the little tab of the bobbincase is in the slot of the needle plate which is @ the 9:00 position.Also make sure it's threaded correctly & that you have enough tension & hold on the the needle thread for the 1st 3-4 stitches.

    @BrickCityBeasts Glad you like the reducer! You might need to adjust the reverse & foward stitch length ,foward stitch is the lower screw,loosen the locknut & turn the screw to the left,the upper screw in the pic is for reverse.You might need to ajust both so the stitch length is the same in foward & reverse.

    The best way to adjust this is loosen the screw in the stitch indicator,then push the button in & adjust the stitch length to full length.Then spin the indicator to the #5 & tighten the set screw on it.

    Like Gary said you might have to not set your needle so deep.Here's a manual. Bonis manual.pdf

    @Devorah Here's a couple of manuals for the 269 & yes they aren't the easiest machine in the world to work on. class_269w.pdf 269w.pdf

    It's possible he made a wooden crate for it & that's why it so heavy?
  9. CowboyBob
    When I ship them double-boxed they weigh 52 Lbs (the extra box & packing weigh 6 lbs) he might want to re-check the weight because he's way off.

    Do you have any play or movement of the needlebar left to right ?

    The only advantage of this machine over the Consew is the higher lift & easier stitch length adjustment.It should take a longer (190R) needle and only Pfaff feet fit Pfaff's so they tend to cost more $.If you were to buy a Juki 562,563,1541 or 1508 your Consew feet will interchange.
  12. CowboyBob
    Yes,buy it's a great machine for auto upholstery.
  13. CowboyBob
    Yes,but like I mentioned b4 Sailrite chgs alot for everything.we sell these same feet & have them in stock for $10.00 ea.

    Once you get it where it needs to be tighten the screws as tight as you can or it will slip & stick up again.

    @Lgbrs9 Loosen this screw & try to push the bracket it fits into.

    The clamp might be stuck on the shaft,did you loosen the screw alot?If so you could try & put a screwdriver between the clamp & pry it just alittle to get it to open so you can push the bar down.

    It is a 205MO-25 that has a top jump foot w/teeth on it made for sewing moccasins,from the factory it will barely sew 3/8".it has feed dogs underneath that need to pull the leather through which can leave marks on the bottom & you could the teeth off the upper foot if there still on it.
  19. CowboyBob
    It's very common for the threads to get broken on the shaft.Be careful when re-installing.

    When it's up put oil on the shaft(right where it goes into the casting that it rides in) & try to push it down,try it a few times to get the oil worked into the part.
  21. CowboyBob
    It's possible the inside foot bar is stuck & needs some oil.You should be able to push on the linkage @ the end of the pen & push the inside pressure bar down.Look how far down this one is compared to yours.
  22. CowboyBob
    Use a large screwdriver that fits in there tightly & you could put a wrench on it while pushing down on the screwdriver will work.
  23. CowboyBob
    Loosen this screw & push the foot down where it needs to be so it pushes the outside one up.
  24. CowboyBob
    You should move it hereItems For Sale - Leatherworker.net BUT when your selling something you should price it.
