A lot of 30-1 parts no longer made. I have a lot of early 30-1 parts but in Michigan and they are not cheap. I would try to find a machinist to try and make you the end of the drive rack so with all the teeth plus some length. It then can be welded or pinned. I know for a fact the long rack no longer made for early 30 class. I even tried to have Adler make them. They would not. You can find used rings in Germany. The bell crank can still be ordered I believe. The lobes on the end are worn and could be welded up and re profiled. Nothing will be cheap. Great machines glenn miller

thread size and needle you are using? More pics of the the tension area please. Also the model plate in front. Pics lease. glenn

No I always to to restore machines to as close to as original. The reason is the engineers who designed it know more than I do. Plus they sew better. glenn

The inner foot is out of sync. There is a screw for adjustment in the front of the machine if i remember. When you loosen it, it allows you to re-center the inner foot and the feed dog. Will be in the the mechanics manual for a 145, 545,1245 .

Possibly. Grey Consew made by Seiko. White ones made in China. as to whether there was some crossover, maybe. glenn

They did not come with reverse. This one had been retrofitted. Bobbins, order for 733 R Consew. Needle systems are 7x1, 7x3, 794. This machine will sew from #138 to #415 nylon and polyester thread. Bobbins same size as 97-10 bobbins. glenn

Pics of the machine please. Does your machine have a bobbin winder on it? glenn

The stitches have to be equalized. The mechanics manual for the 255 should be able to walk you thru the adjustment process. I do not have that manual. glenn

I would say a shoepatcher. Looks like the stand for one that was made in Czechoslovakia. I saw one years ago. glenn

Never seen one on a 69 class Adler. Not sure what it is for. glenn

The H2 had 7mm of lift, earlier H3 was 11mm lift, H4 and white 335 pfaff have 14mm lift. Your 17/01 is a binder 335. Need pics of the machine. glenn

wash both felts out with mineral spirts to clean them. The long worn wick fits under the staple on the flat felt. That sits on top of the rock frame that part #44 fits into. glenn

Stupid design it sounds like. glenn

Depending on what needle system is in the 733 Consew. . If going to 794 needle system form 1000, you will have to lower the needle bar since the 7 x1 and 794 are shorter needles glenn

The 67 needs so cleaning up and oiling. Good machine. glenn

7x1, 7x3, 794 pretty much all the same needle other than the scarfs. That is the needle they used in 7 class machines. Did they go up to a 1000 needle? glenn

They do not make a shim for the 280 needle. I think only up to 250. If using a 280 needle, you will have to build up the needle deflector shim to accommodate the 280, needle. You want to put needle in once you have the shim is widen. Remove the throat plate, feet and feed dog. I would then by hand turn the wheel lowering the needle and see how it is in relation to the hook. Touching? Or deflecting? If so you need more distance rings. glenn

Table leg or machine leg missing? Can we see a pic of the brass model plate? glenn

I have gears and pinions. Contact me. Some are original Simanco parts.

I would say the inside and outside foot are out of sync since one is raising a lot more than the other. It also needs oil. There are directions on like to adjust the feet lift to be uniform. glenn

C, That Seiko made to sew heavier with the big flywheel. Ferdinand did that on a few machines to give them a lot of torque and punching power. I saw one set up to sew t webs on a hockey goalie glove. Was sewing thru 4 and 5 layers of leather. Did a great job. Cleaned up and sewing $1,200.00 easy. glenn

yep grab it now!!! glenn

Anyone got a large wooden drawer for a Long arm Singer shoepatcher treadle stand? I am trying to spec the drawer. I only have the small drawers. The long arm treadle stands had bigger drawers in them. I need a finished length width and height. Thanks in advance. glenn

Dannymac, You are correct the Rapid E is a 317. The 309 was and earlier machine. Thanks. glenn

Basically the 112W139 was a double needle version of the 111W155. I think the 111W might be just a bit heavier in what it can sew. Mr. Kovar would know better than me on that one. glenn
