Class job Ben.

Could it be a Durkopp Adler 205-370 ? 205 e cylinder arm machine 204 being the flat bed.

Now, does anyone have, or have access to, an owner/user manual for a Singer 45B8BC and/or a Seiko CH-8B? Cheers, Badger Karl, I MAY have a manuel but not actually sure. I use a CH8 BV which is the binder version of your machine.Will have a good look round to see if I can find something.Hows the BU No 6 project ??? Keith

Ben try Sharpsewing on Ebay they seem to have LOADS of stock.

Hi Ray, I used to share a workshop with an industrial sewing mech.He always said the first two things you MUST do are charge the needle making sure it is fitted correctly and of the right size for the thread being used and then re-thread your machine. It sounds to me as if the timing is out.

Many thanks for your kind words Karl.Pleased the machine finally arrived safely and I am sure you will do the "old girl"justice. Must also say how nice it has been to deal with someone as straight and upfront as yourself. Keith

Whatever oil you end up using Karl be sure to get PLENTY of it !!!!!

Thanks Elliot.

Try Specsavers !!

Many thanks Luke I will do that. Kind regards

Hi Karl, Moccassins I believe Moose hide is the best for the manufacture ? Regards Keith]

Karl, I have just sent you a message as I think I have an identical machine,a British United No 6 which maybe of interest to you ?

Hi Guys, Looking for a tannery who supply super soft Moose Hide in 1.6mm to 1.8mm substance ? Any offers of advice appreciated. Regards Geordie

Ray, If possible could you use pulleys from your replacement motor to your machine.If you fit a large dia pulley that would slow the RPM down....although I am not sure if you could rig such a system up.
