shoepatcher

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!

The Chandler 305-64 is a clone copy of an Adler 105-64. Chandler had these made in Japan after they lost the Adler distributing rights for AMERICA . Should thread the same as ther Adler glenn

JIMI 7 PATCHERS and a mountain of boots!!!

Question #1 the wing nut on the big tension spring will adjust the height of the walk. Looking at the back of the machine, move the clamp and wing nut to the left to increase the height of the walk. Question #2 will have to remove the end of the head to change the tension discs. Question #4 Depends on size of the needle as to which needle hole in throat plate to use. Question #5 You can get generics hooks on line. not real expensive. I have just come into a large cache of original Singer Simanco small bobbin hooks. These do not really really exist today in just about any other place. Price for the genuine hook is $50.00 plus shipping. You can message me if you are interested. glenn

can we see pics of it please. glenn

two things. Looks like you are going around the pin that holds the tension discs in place. DO NOT go around the that pin. That alone will effect tension. Also, the smallest needle you can use with #138 thread is a 22/140. Do not use #21 with #138 thread on top. glenn

Some parts from a 205-270 will fit this machine. glenn

The picture in the catalogue of the 1541 is wrong. They both look like the 1508. glenn

what size thread are you using in American standards. I do not have a European chart for thread. If you are using #138 and below weight of thread, the 1541S should work fine. The DNU-1541/X55245 is for #207 and heavier. glenn

Just buy one of the flip down guides that is on ebay. It will work. You might have to drill and tap a hole or two. Not a big deal. I prefer the ones made by Kwok Hing. glenn
