Good video BUT, 441's use the same principal but adjust differently.

We also sell Adlers & have had some of them not sew out of the box.So we learned along time ago to test any machine Adler,Consew,Juki,Paff & Cowboy before they go out so we know for sure it was sewing properly when it left.

It is much easier to load & handle if you take the head off of the stand,undo the foot lift chain & 4-bolts off the head & it's off,you can slide the table in & put the head behind it & put some blankets or other packing around it.

I'm almost certain that shipping will be from $7-900 on top of this price you will be very close to getting one here that is tested & ready to go.Also does this include a servo motor & speed reducer?

Greg,that's true but he's talking about the machine we just shipped him & I know it's a 110volt servo & don't know of any locks on them. I just looked @ a motor & realized he's talking about the screw for the brush,it looks like a key lock.

Doc,I don't know what lock your asking about but there is a knob on the front for speed control.It sets the top speed when you floor the foot pedal.

You should always go aeound the second tension 1 & 1/2x so the thread can grip the tension pulley.

If you put the thread in counter-clockwise the thread will (should) stay under the bobbincase tension spring better do to the greater angle that it has as it comes off the bobbin.

No,I don't have any American parts,I do know thw flatbed harness plate isn't that hard to make.Have you tried Pilgrim Shoe in Mass?

You need to go around this 1& 1/2x so the thread can grip the roller & the put the thread under the wire after you go through the check spring.

#1 are you sure it's threaded correctly,if so tighten the top tension alittle more or loosen the bottom.

When the needlebar is all the way down the hook should be @ the 7:00 position.Try taking the screws out of the small gear & see if you can advance it to the next hole to get it correct(somebody might of been playing with it & switched them around)

Look on the leftside of their homepage(it says manuals),for some reason I couldn't cut & paste the page into my post.

try Proleptic they have them.

The easiest way to change it is,take both feet off,then take needles plate off,the take the bobbincase opener off,then you can loosen the 2 screws on the small gear on the hook pull it out being careful to not let the gear fall off,also notice were the slot is in the gear so you can line the now up the same.Re-install everything & then check to make sure the new hook point doesn't hit the needle & that's it.

Nakajima was bought out by Juki many years ago.They redsigned the machines & parts put new model # on them & some parts are no longer available for this model.

Catskin, Yes,you have the same motor.We have always felt they worked pretty good esp when connected to a speed reducer,but I guess it's like anything you buy some people need it to be different.Look what they do to a new car or truck,jack it up big tires,loud exhausts.paint,sunroofs & etc. It has been some very interesting reading & way over my head since I'm not into electronics to understand it all. This motor is 1000x better than the one we used to sell that you had to program for the speed,it went from 0-wide open in 1/2" of foot pedal push.

To be honest with you I don't fully understand what you are referring to.Do to the way this machine is built it is pretty hard to put it together wrong.. Some pics or parts # would help me understand better.

Hello Manny,did you get your machine going?

They are a great machine as long as you want to sew under 1/2".Don't forget to take some samples along & try it out.

The 345 will sew much thicker than the 335 so you should try to sew on the 345 before you buy if possible to make sure it works for your thickness.

Yes,the 111w153 is almost the same machine,put a D.C.Servo motor on it for slower sewing.Parts are also readily available for it too.

This is a good machine for sewing canvas or vinyls BUT I would never recommend it for sew leather esp fine or thin leather.Reason being is this machine has feed dogs & feet with teeth on them,you can grind off the teeth on the feet & stop the marking on top but you need the teeth of the feed dogs to pull the leather through which can leave marks & can scratche when turning.You would be better suited to look at Juki's 1541S model or similar machine like Consew 206RB-5 which have a walking foot & needle feed,the 206 has an optional slotted needle plate for it the eliminates the feed dog so you won't have any marking on your leather.Highlead 618 is another good one to look at.

Yes,a standard bobbin winder will work.We always use the 135x16 needles in these as the 16x99 &100 aren't made anymore.

Do you have a machine now?If so what is the model#?
