shoepatcher

Uwe, You in Chicago now? glenn

we need a copy for our files here on The Leatherworker.net glenn

You could take a 3/8 bolt and turn it down on a lathe and put the threads in it. A machinist can do it if you cannot. You need it to run the machine. Have a nut made as well. glenn

Looks like a rebadged early Juki. glenn

OK the screw part is SS#431 singer special screw. I happen to have book on the special singer screws specs over all length is 33.6MM. threads are 11/32" x 28tpi. threads 20mm long bulb end on the screw. Hope that helps. glenn

Get me a screw part number and i can get the specs and pitch of the screw. glenn

Looks nice. glenn

Very Nice sir!

Long arm. Need to see a better pic of the end of horn. Either 29K55, 56, 60, 62, 72, 73. The squarish of the horn leads me to say 60.62, 72, 73. Bobbin size will narrow it down more. glenn

Damn. That looks nice C!!!!! Never seen a screw split like that. You wire wheeling the parts after they come out of the electrolysis tank? glenn

Damn. That is a whole another way to time a shoepatcher. I will have to remember that. trick. coming along nice!!! glenn

make a quick video of it sewing and post. glenn

contact Bob Kovar at Toledo Sewing and send him pics of the Champion. He probably can give you some info. glenn

Real nice C real nice!!!!! glenn

Smallest needle you can use #138 on is #22. I use #23 titanium coated. Less deflection and the coating makes the needle slide easier thru leather. glenn

You put a detailed email of your experiences in a text with back up info and send to the President of Tippman. I would be screaming all kinds of BS for the way you have been treated. You are not in the States which may make it a little harder but STILL!!! glenn

I would. They are the same type of line these you for air connections. You could also order it from Durkopp Adler which will cost more. Download the manuals from the Adler site. glenn

Black would look better. I have on e Durkopp in green, Not as nice as the black. glenn

Get it from Kwok Hing. They are in Singapore. Good company to deal with. You will need a guide and an adapter plate. glenn

C, I have a 17-1-1 that looked just like that and the table is just as rusty!!! Too many projects in front of it however. glenn

That will work for you. That's great. glenn

ChenLinav, The 205-64 was a great machine before Adler came along with the 205-74 in late 1985. It then made changes and came out with the 205-373, then rebadged it with the 205-370. Finding a 205-64 will not be easy. They are out there but not in large numbers. Going price is $1,500.00-$2.500.00. Parts from Adler are beginning to get scarce. If it was me, I would look at at used 205-370 or new 441 clone. Both are true walking foot machines where as the 205-64 is a bottom, needle feed machine. Yes , the 205-370 or 441 clone will cost more. BUT, parts more readily available as are more types of feet. You might also consider the 205 clone that Weaver Leather sells. Good machine and cheaper than used Adler 205-370 machines which are going for from $3,500 to over $5,000.00 used!!. Buy once, cry once!! Plus the walking foot machines will sew over more difficult items. I have sewn on all of these machines: 205-64, 205-74, 373, 370, Genuine 441 Juki, 441 clones like Cowboy and Artisan, the Weaver 205-370 clone. All sew very well. I own a Durkopp/Adler 205-370 with toys. No comparison between what the 205-370's and 441's vs. the 205-64. Just my 2 cents! Do your homework before you buy. glenn

Consew 206RB was the first ones made for Consew by Seiko in Japan. Should be hammertone gray. Great machines. glenn
