    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

    First question. Is safety clutch disengaged? If not, it is out of time and you must time each hook separately. glenn

    The end cam is worn. Replace it to take out the play. glenn

    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

    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

    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.

    Ok here is one thing that most people do not know about and Adler. The needle bar height is adjustable. You have to have the height set correctly even before you time the machine . If the height is wrong, machine will never sew correctly. Contact me and I can walk you thru the adjustment. glenn
