  1. You have a patent elastic machine. This became the Claes. I will check to see if i have any. I think you have either the small or medium bobbin. Give me a day or 2 to research it. You are located where? glenn
  2. Yes it is. The Singer 153 was out first. glenn
  3. Do not need the screw that I have ever found. Just the plug. glenn
  4. Yes it was. glenn
  5. Consew 227 parts are copies of Singer 153 parts. Should be interchangeable. glenn
  6. Patent Elastic was the early name for the Claes I believe. They started in 1869. There have been about 15 plus manufactured of the shoepatcher with the early design like you see in front of you. Singer came out with a shoepatcher in 1877 and their design was new and unique. Adler came out with the 30 class in 1900 which was a copy of the UFA/ 29 class. Adler had an earlier design like the old shoepatchers which was a 29 class. I have one. Bradbury had a few shoepatcher designs starting in 1872. glenn
  7. needle two small for 138 thread, Go to a 140/#22. glenn
  8. First question. Is safety clutch disengaged? If not, it is out of time and you must time each hook separately. glenn
  9. The end cam is worn. Replace it to take out the play. glenn
  10. You need DA part #0667105100 which is the stud for synchronizer. Remove plastic plug and tap the stud in place. This is what the synchronizer mounts on. glenn
  11. You have lots of parts. Need a servo motor for it. Does the engraved line on the front of the base say 8345-6 or 8346-6? It has an early Claes cast iron stand almost like the Pfaff Metro Spezial that was a Claes in everything but name. Claes sold machines to Pfaff that Pfaff out their name on it. What questions do you have on the machine? glenn
  12. I have all the manuals for 30-1,5,7,15,10,50,70. Parts list, operations manuals, mechanics manual, extras info. Cost is $15.00 plus shipping. glenn
  13. I prefer While stainless sewing machine oil. Does not stain. glenn
  14. Good afternoon, I have a question about a machine I'd like to purchase but would like to keep the details private until after I've decided to buy it. I apologize for the unsolicited comment but I could use some advice. As a new member I'm not sure what the etiquiett is but I'd appreciate a PM if you're available. Thank you.

      It's a Claes 8436. This is a public comment correct? Call me paraniod but I'd rather not comment publicly until I've secured the purchase. Thanks for your understanding.

      ok.  Claes is the top shoe patcher made.  The 8346 is the latest model.  The Cadillac.
