The point of the shuttle should be @ the needle when the needle rises about 3/16",make sure you turn the machine in the direction it runs.

Ok,now you want to turn the machine ( the handwheel) towards you & when the needle gets all the way down & right as it starts to go up the shuttle also does the same, it goes all the way back & should start to come forward @ the same time the needle goes up,check & see if this is happening?

Did you change the needle?If so double check that it is pushed all the way up.

What is going on that you think you need to work on it?

This site has a classified that you can advertise in,I see machines are marked sold after while so it must work. HTH

This are more parts available for the 133 than the 45,if that helps any?

We have some 207

Ok ,just thought I'd chime in here & let you know we are used to talking with hobbiest type of people & even first time Industrial sewing machine owners so just have a list of questions ready when you call & we'll try to answer them the best we can.

You can put a Singer pressure bar(or GA-5) on the Adler.

I'm sure Proleptic.net will have your manual.

Yes,it looks our model CB3200 http://www.tolindsewmach.com/cb3200.html

We have sold quite a few of them over the years & probably should add them to our website.We do oil & test them before we ship them unlike a place that says shipped from warehouse (untested drop-ship) They will use #69 & #92 thread.Yes,a great way to get started. The downside is the teeth on both the outside foot & lower feed dog that can leave marks.

It's 17/64 with 24 tpi

Weight depends on which motor ,I'll guess it's a clutchmotor,real close to 200Lbs,if they ship it truck freight w/pallet it's 250.

No,I think your correct,I'd say it's like a 17 too,the 34K weighs 122Lbs or 55kgs.That machine looks alittle lighter.

Here is a Singer 34K11 I picked up last year,it has a 45K top & a large bobbin & shuttle that is aboy 3x larger than a 29K

Still trying to figure out how to position the needlebar within the throat plate hole. Your working on the wrong end.Go to the backside of the machine,there's vertical rod for the knee lift & alittle more than 1/2 way up you'll see a 1/2 hole in the casting, shine a light in there & you'll see the screw you need to loosen to move the needlebar front to back.It takes a large screwdriver & a lot of oomph to get it loose.

Yes,trade the Chandler off & then the feet & bobbins & threading will all be the same. You might want to double check the Consew model # it might be 226?

To me the S point looks better because the needle has more of a spade point to it & doesn't open up the side of the hole, with DI point the hole looks wider on the side due to the 4-sides of the needle.

The smallest we can get them in is #24,we also have 25 & 26 in DI point,when I order #23 they send the LR's

The 96 is a longer arm version of the 95 so it won't sew any different,like Geneva said they both were made to sew fast & thin materials.

Yes,Kings X is right it's in Ft.Wayne,IN. Here some info here.

I also agree with Wiz & Steve a triple feed is best for leather!

Steve, I thought you were to call me back? One thing I forgot to mention yesterday(Thanks to Amuckart) is the screws that hold the race on(outside of shuttle) you need to turn all the way in & back them out one full turn so it can float.

Are you making sure to get the bobbin thread underneath the spring properly?
