I would consider the Cowboy version of the 341 since Bob is so much closer than Steve. Shipping has got to be less. glenn

The feed cam on the top shaft may be out just a little bit. Lets see if I can remember?? Nothing in the mechanics manual for the 69 class that I can see. Put machine at 0 stitches. Run the machine slow. If it the reverse lever moves even a little, the feed cam is off\ and has to be recalibrated. glenn

Your needle bar may not be set at the correct height. You can change the needle bar height on Adler's. They have an eccentric to move the bar up and down. It is in the service manual. Look for the service manual for a 30-70. Same info applies to the 30-7. glenn

Great job Hendreforgan!! Look forward to you future texts. glenn

Are not pages 13 and 14 missing? glenn

Tapered pin #2049 is the pin for the shuttle driver. You could find a long generic tapered pin and insert. These are hardened so you will need a Dremel to cut it off and sand the ends. May still be available. Call Cowboy Bob. glenn

I would keep it. Rare to find them. glenn

They are in Cincinnati, Ohio. They bought up Schwabe and rebuild machines. Name of the company is Freeman Schwabe. glenn

To increase the boom cutting width, you can go up to 2" wider on each side without losing cutting power meaning if boom is 16" wide left to right, you could go up to 20" wide without losing cutting power. Since you are replacing the plate, now is the time to widen the plate. glenn

I would say $1,500.00-$1,800.00US retail. The 205-64 would be worth a little more. These are just ballpark figures. glenn

C, I think the machine could be salvaged. The bobbin winder is not critical. The tension assembly could be gotten. Same as on a Patent elastic by Claes. It is on an Adler Stand. Other bobbin winder could be used. Patent elastic bobbin winder ,( and I mean the manual one) , could be used. If I had it here in the USA, I could rebuild it. The hook, bobbin and throat plate can still be gotten as you know C. If price is low enough, I would get it if I were him. Early Claes parts are on Ebay.de. I have seen them and Eric has ordered some of them C. glenn

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
