Spray needle with silicon spray. Will make the adhesive not stick to the needle. glenn

Not sure what the 305 subclass. C class, M is for leather safety clutch, P is for 4 motion drop feed, N normally means 6mm stitch length. but this has a -05 on it. glenn

Kwok Hing in China makes a few feet for it. Not sure if they make anything else. Only other source is Durkopp Adler. glenn

Great. That part not easy to find!!! glenn

Try on thing. Loosen the thumb screw in front a that lock the machine foot from rotating. Sometimes they are screw up a little to far for the foot to rotate. glenn

Wiz, Yes. glenn

What do you want to use for binding? That is the question. All of the mentioned items above can be made into binding. glenn

No Steve at Cobra is in Northern California. Bob at Cowboy is in Toledo Sewing in Toledo, OH and Neel at Neel's Saddlery, the Cowboy dealer is also in Ohio.

The rust on the stand should be wire wheeled or sandblasted. You also should try Evapo Rust. Great stuff. If it was me and I rebuild these machines, I would disassemble the stand, de-rust it, get an automotive paint mixed to duplicate the color, paint it and re-assemble it. Looks great and increases the value of the whole machine. It needs a drawer and i have the plans to make one as well as a couple on the Adler stands I have, glenn

Some parts will fit from one machine to other. Parts from the 335, 345, 545, 1245, 595 and 1295 are interchangeable. What parts are you looking to see will work from one machine to another. I can tell you the feet are interchangeable. glenn

Contact Eli Schlabach in Aurthr Illinois. He works on them, rebuilds them and manufacturers parts for them. I think his company is Landis? Some jump in here and help me. glenn

I agree Bob. Put the oil to her and let it sit. The penetrating oil will loosen up any old oil, grease, dirt. etc. glenn

Constabulary, Those covers will not fit a Pfaff 345. Also, 335 Pfaff cover will not fit 345. Pfaff 335 has the bobbin on the end of the arm, glenn

That is the wrong needle set screw in the machine! glenn

Constabulary, Those covers will not fit a Pfaff 345. Sorry. glenn

A Consew 229 is a copy of a Singer 168. The bobbin caps should be interchangeable. In the picture shown, your bobbin case tab is not in the slot on the underside of the throat plate. Yours will need the bobbin case cover. Should thread the same as a Singer 168. Hope that helps. I may have a bobbin case cover around here. glenn

nice old machine!!!! glenn

You are missing the slide cover. Pfaff quite making the 345 some years ago. there is a possibility that a slide plate from an Adler 269 might fit. Contact Strima in Poland. They have a web site and they carry parts for old Pfaff's. glenn

buy it and get a hold of Eli Slibach in Arthur, Illinois. He is at Landis Sales i believe glenn

make sure your needle system is system 81 NOT 81 x 1. glenn

The price is what would determine my answer. What is he or she asking? I would consider it if price is cheap. Just my opinion. Definitely a German made shoe patcher. glenn

Go onto Kwok Hing web site. They have Ffaff clone parts glenn

Get someone to help you with putting machine on base> Trust me!!! glenn

Needle to me looks a little off line with awl in photo. Call Eli and talk to him. glenn

The new throat a plate does not look like a 335 that I have seen. I assume the new throat plate and fed dog is a generic? I would try College Sewing web site and see what those parts on there look like. Your new parts will not work. glenn
