Yep. Everything is slower to get right now. I have that machine. Nice. make sure you get all three manuals-parts, operations and engineers or service manual. glenn

Wont be cheap. I estimate at least $1,000.00US. I upgraded a few of the 767 motor where I retired from in 2017. Each was $1,000.00 plus. Just so you know./ glenn

The only way to tell would be from an older Pfaff parts list. I am not sure what all was changed. glenn

N means newer model. Juki did that with the 563N as well. glenn

nice!!!!! glenn

remove the the belt tensioner. It was need to engage the clutch mechanism and keep the belt tight. Make the clutch mechanism into a speed reducer. glenn

You will need different parts. going form 7mm lift tp 11mm lift. I know you want geniune Pfaff parts. You may not have a choice. glenn

JJN, the jackshaft in the stand is two piece. You have to bolt the clutch part together so that it truly acts like a speed reducer. I sold my Sutton stand to a friend of mine who is putting a Claes on it. Put a nice piece of 1/2" cabinet grade plywood on the top of the stand over the steel top. Looks better and easier to anchor a machine on it. Servo yes. I removed the 1/4hp Dayton motor off of it before he got so that he could put a one piece servo in it. Buy a one piece servo like the family motor, not one that has three pieces to it. Hope that helps glenn

Clone of 225? The Consew is a copy of the Singer 111W155. Max Stitch length 5MM or 7MM? Machine will sew up to about 3/8" depending on the hardness of the leather G size bobbin which is small by todays' standard. these are good machines because of the design. Good upholstery machine. glenn

thanks C

Someone a while ago in Australia was advertising that they had the singer29K foot #8666 being built in China. Anyone remember who that was and if they have any left? glenn

AmyK, The main shaft on top of a Juki is .495-.498". Hope that helps. glenn

AmyK, Is it Nakakima or Nakijima?

let me know if I can help in the future. glenn

start at the bottom and work up form there, taking 1-2 coils off at a time. I prefer to use a Dremel with a cutting wheel on it. glenn

My binders are all custom made. They started at $350.00. Where I worked before I retired, we set up a symmetric feed binding on a Pfaff 1295 post walking foot machine . it was made for us by Atlanta Attachment They make the best binders bar none. However, you pay for it. That set ending up costing $1350.00. Not cheap. The throat plate, feed dog, binder holder, all custom made. And that did not include the 2" clean finish top and bottom binder with a 3/8" fold over which cost another $400.00!!! Trust me, $111.00 is cheap!!! you get what you pay for. glenn

That machine does not have 4 motion drop feed which would be a -372. It has what is called skiff feed- feed dog goes back and forth but does not drop down. made for binding!!! glenn

Who has this machine. I am interested in getting a copy of the Perfecto manual. glenn

post in the items for sale under the sewing on this website. glenn

Unscrew the top tension knurl screw. Remove the big tension spring. Cut a couple of twists off the spring, put back in a te4st. Tension still high at lowest setting, remove and cut more off. For some reason, Pfaff putt these high tension springs into the machine. Never had any Pfaff cylinder arm where I did not have remove the spring and cut some length off the tension spring. glenn

Nice

Yes, replace feed dog and throat plate with non toothed or smooth parts. Tell the dealer if you buy the 370 model, you want smooth parts on it!! glenn

that is a Seiko made machine. At least 15 years old. Nice glenn

Sounds like the feeding ratio is off. Can we see a video in slow motion to see how machine is feeding? Turn the balance wheel by hand if you have to. glenn

The 374 is the earlier version of the 205. There are more differences than just the feed dogs and feet. It was produced for about the first 6 months of the machines introduction. The machine was delayed about 15 months before it came to market. Adler was still working out the bugs. Keep in mind this was late 1985 when the machine was introduced! Adler made a number of changes to the machine after the first 6 months it was on the market. Larger handwheel, different lift system which they eliminated. Durkopp bought Adler 20 years ago. I know a lot about these machines. I have sewn on both and worked on both. In fact, I sent samples of materials to be sewn on to Adler in 1984. They were sent to Germany and sewn on before the 374 before it was introduced. I still have the samples in a file cabinet! I would spend the extra money and buy the 370. Reason. The availability of parts on the older machine. I have a 370. We had both at the place I retired from. Both sew great. If you ever want to put a binder on it, the 370 has the plug hole in the arm to connect the binder to. The 374 does not. Both machines look in great shape. The 374 was built in Germany. The 370 in the Czech Republic. No real difference in quality. Also, the 370 is on an off the arm stand which I prefer. glenn
