There are people looking for the bottom needle guide and the one above the needle. You might consider making those for sale. glenn

You might try STP. that is what I use on the cam races. It is thicker than oil but thinner than grease. I find it work great as a lubricant in those areas. glenn

Certain dealers can get them. Where are you located? glenn

Anything from a 29K58 and up is good because you can get the parts be they generic or genuine. glenn

Juki bought out Nakajima some years ago and carried on the 341, 441, and a bunch of other models. Their engineers went thru and tweaked each model to improve it. some kept the same model number, some had brand new model numbers on them. Nakajima still better than the clones of today. glenn

Let us see pics of the machines. glenn

pic of the area that has the screws. I have some parts and screws. glenn

Adler 120 Class. Hard to find them. Last i knew, a company in Germany that makes the 30 class shoepatchers for Adler was still making them.. Price was over $20,000.00US.\glenn glenn

Yep, I agree with Constabulary. That is a Durkopp 17- class. The length of arm will tell us one thing on the subclass, the hook and bobbin the other info on subclass. Can we see more pictures? You realize it has been more than 2 years awaiting for the pics!! I hope the next pics come quicker. Neumann probably contracted with Politype or Durkopp for this machine. Private labeling. glenn

take the hook and bobbin case out and derust them with Dremel and wire brush that fits on Dremel. Check the tip of the hook for burrs. Machine will work better derusted. I mark oil areas with red paint stick. Helps when oiling machine. Clean up the buggered up screw heads as well. You got a high lift version of a 545. Great machine!!! glenn

The -FA means it is set up to trim thread. Other functions may be there as well. the -263 is the designation for 2 needle but not walking foot. Probably bottom and needle feed. -273 would be the 2 needle walking foot model.

The 267 gk or -373 are a good medium duty walking foot machine. Foot lift I believe is 12-13mm. It will sew up to 3/8 thickness of leather depending on how hard the leather is. These machines are in demand especially the ones built in Germany. They are going for over $2000.00 rebuilt and set up. Make sure timing belt isin good shape or that will be a $100.00 expense. glenn

Look at the 969 Adler Pure that Weaver sells. 969 stripped down to basic functions. Wholesale complete, $5895.00. Like 205 but its big brother!!! I have sewed on the Eco 969 and it is a beast! glenn

will try to get you a pic today. Busy as hell at the moment give me an email to send pic to. glenn

Ok the Consew 733 in a lot of ways is a copy of the 7 class. What 7 subclass have you got? In a lot of cases, Consew parts may be different. You will have to check the Consew parts list. Seiko machine is like the Consew . glenn

Call Bob now!!! glenn

No, he means the paddle shaped spring screwed to the needle bar just above the needle clamp. glenn

Use a small ratchet with a screw tip in the end. will get more leverage

shuttle carrier for 29K51-56 is unique to that series. Other will not work unless you do some modifications. glenn

$275.00 plus shipping. I can get you a photo. You have books on the machine? I have the parts list, operations manual and the military service book on the machine. I had one years ago in the early 1980's before the 441 and 205 came out. Does yours have the stand or just the head? Mine had everything glenn

Glad you got it to work. That has a huge flywheel added to it!!! glenn

I have a brand new race for a 97-10 never used. glenn

Bottom line-the drive gear, following gear, long drive rack , short rack, shuttle carrier are probably all worn not counting the wear on the inside of the horn. All contribute to the the missing of stitches. Keep in mind, these machines are over 100 years old and counting. If parts can be found, they need to be replaced. Finding them is not easy. I have a few parts and a few companies in Italy and Spain are making or have replacement parts. The original parts should be removed and examined for wear. Any model before the 29K58 will have certain parts that are hard to find. 29K58 and on, there are generic parts made for the machines because of the clones made today in China. OK the companies that has parts for 29K1-4 Italy www.brunoanichi.it Spain www.Sitomaco.es I have been on there sites in Italian and Spanish. No English on the site that I can see. Hope this helps

Ok. Strima in Poland has a genuine for $272.03, AliExpress has a generic for $43.68. I suggest you call DAP in Atlanta which is Durkopp/Adler/Pfaff and see what a genuine hook cost and if they have it. That gives you a starting point as to price. Shipping not included in these prices glenn

Do you have a parts list for the 345? I have one. A genuine hook will not be cheap. Part number is #91-014-192-31. A genuine hook if you an get it would cost over $300.00 Hirose and Cerliani both make aftermarket hooks. Very good quality. Used them for years. I will see what I can find and get back to. Can we get a few pics of the machine. glenn
