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

#207 a little thick. Only run it on the needle thread. or go to #138 on both top and bottom. glenn

Rapid E? The Cadillac of curved sole stitchers. Parts , needles and awls you can get from Gateway Shoe in St. Louis. glenn

order either a Hirose or Cerliani hook. They are the best generic hooks made. If you want a genuine, be prepared to pay dearly for a Genuine Pfaff hook. Like $300- $400.00 glenn

C, Canadian Post is on strike and has been for at least a few weeks. Probably why they are not shipping to Canada at this moment. glenn

The pitch of the bolt is 9/32"x 28. I am out of bolts at this time. glenn

Samer, send me a few pics of the front of your machine where the wheel goes please. These parts are not cheap just so you know. glenn

Like I said, way overrated for a sewing machine the Sailrite is. glenn

You need to get a manual on the 205-6. That has that adjustment in it. I think it is different than on a 205-370. glenn

pics please to start. glenn

Juki in everything but name. Great machine! glenn

Not a Sailright fan. I think they are overpriced for what they offer. I have always bought name brand machines like Juki, Adler, Pfaff, Consew, Singer. Those are not clones. Sailright are clones. You get what you pay for. I have sewn on and repaired sewing machines for about 50 years. I rarely have problems with name brand machines. Yes, they are more expensive. However, their performance speaks for themselves. Just my 2 cents. I have bought both used and new. Buy once, cry once. glenn

I would drill the pin out and replace it with a roll pin cut to length the roll pins are hardened. glenn

check with Juki. They bought Mitsubishi last spring. You have parts number so that helps. I would contact Juki in Europe and see if they can get the parts. Nothing to loose by doing it. glenn

Cobra never made a 7 class. The Consew/Seiko is a knock off of the old 7 class Singer but even heavier today in its sewing capacity. Consew 733-6 i think will sew 1 5/16". Constabulary would know. glenn

Someone buy it. Cheap price.
