Do you mean a Chandler 305-64? I do not know of a 303-64. If so, that was made in Japan by the old Chandler Company out of New York after they lost the Adler distribution right to sell Adler's here in this country. Copy of an Adler 105-64. I believe some Adler parts are still available. Can we see pics of the machine? glenn

that can be done. glenn

First question. What do you want to do and sew with this machine. It has automatic functions but the motor is 3 phase and 220 and as johnnydb stated in the previous post, getting a phase converter bought and hooked up will not be cheap. Plus, you have to have air to run this machine with the functions if I am not mistaken. it is NOT an old type clutch motor. That is full function motor with a control box. glenn

Nope, not the same. Sorry. I would check the stud on a Seiko or Consew 744. They normally copied the Singer machines. glenn

I believe there is a screw made by Seiko to screw the cover plate down so it will not move. glenn

A stud from a 111W will not work? glenn

Max. stitch length is 9mm. Foot lift is 20mm. that is what makes the 669 so nice. glenn

I have sewn on the 69 in a couple of subclasses. great machine. However, I own a 669 eco. It is fabulous. Until about 1.5 years ago, only machine built in this class in the new generation. Seiko came out with one in 2019 i believe but not as good in that stitch length is not as long or is the lift as high. My question is what do you want to sew and what weight of thread do you want to use? Answers will determine what machine I would recommend. I can give you the differences between the machines. glenn

Unusual for Eli. I would still call him. He is the leading expert on the Landis 16 right now! aaaaaaaaaaaaa Something pissed him off for sure but what? I give people 2 chances. Like James Bond said. " Once is chance, twice is coincidence, 3 times is enemy action!" Glenn

Contact Eli Schalbach at Landis Sewing In Port Aurthur, IL. He rebuilds them. glenn

The 2341,42 are Juki copies of the DA869. It is just like the 2810 is a copy of the 867. Juki is a very good machine. To my knowledge, the 2341,42 and the 869 are the only new 3rd generation machines out in the cylinder arm. Pfaff, Consew, Seiko and clones are not available at this time. The Juki's should be cheaper than the Adler. I sewed and worked on an 869 with all the toys for about 6 years. Hell of a machine. glenn

I have bobbins that will fit this machine and I have a bunch of hooks coming in from Germany. I hope some of these are Durkopp hooks. check with me in about 2 weeks. glenn

The jog dial is a super great feature of the 967, 969. So good, DA has incorporated into other new models. You can position the needle where ever you want using just your index finger. great piece of engineering. They now have the 969 Pure out which is the stripped down version of the 969 Eco. No jog dial on that one. glenn

call Shoe System Plus in New York or Gateway Shoe in Illinois. Both are shoe Repair machine companies. They should have manuals on these machines. glenn

That is a UFA Singer shoepatcher. Early one. Contact Horse&Harness in Ohio. They have parts for 29-4 which includes the spring tension bar. I have the parts but they are for other machines that I am rebuilding. glenn

Nakajima developed the 441 in the early to mid 1980's. they also made parts for Juki as well as their own machines. Juki bought the company in he very early 1990's if i remember correctly. Their engineers went thru every machine and tweaked some things. In some cases, Juki kept the sample model number. In other cases, they change the model number completely. the Nakajimi 441 became the Juki 441! glenn

NICE! glenn

need pics

great!

Contact Luke at MJ Foley in Detroit. They are the master distributor for Juki in North America. glenn

Pneumatic motors used mostly by the Amish. I would remove and replace with servo and speed reducer unless you are Amish. If not, I would then sell the pneumatic motor to he Amish. They cost more than servos. Not so noisy as the compressor is usually outside in Amish establishments. Great machine. I have one with all the toys on it. It needs a good cleaning and going over. Take your time and do it thoroughly. Bob at Toledo or Allen Burkholder at Weaver can answer any questions you may have. glenn

yep

A 7 class might work. I would contact Cerliani and Hirose and see if they make hooks for the 120 class still. That machine is still being made to order in Germany last i Knew by another company for Adler. I think it is the same one producing the 30 class shoe patchers for Adler. glenn

Keep us posted please!! great job Matt!
