Not as good as the Efka or Mitsubishi. However, the conglomerate that owns Durkopp, Adler and Pfaff bought Ho Sing. They make all the display panels on the Adler machines! So what does that tell you.? glenn

The new servo motors of today only have needle up needle down functions. I am not talking about an Efka, Mitsubishi or HOsing computer motors. What I did was get a air assisted pitman rod from Universal Sewing supply in St. Louis. They manufacture them. Cost about $60.00US plus shipping. This lets you run an air line to the machine and hook up to regulator. From there to the air value on the pitman rod that is hooked to the motor and treadle pedal. You heal back on pedal to activate the value and you have foot lift. Nice and simple. glenn

Try screw #1329, 1472 or 51306. All of them are 3/32" x 56 which is what #1053 is. same profile as well. glenn

HPZ, You may have one that does not have 4 motion drop feed. That call it a skip feed. Used a lot on machines set up for binding. If it had a brass plate on the front like the older models, it would be easier to determine. Notice in the manual on the adjustment sheet you sent in parenthesis, "only with machines with P". P was the symbol for 4 motion drop feed. There is an adjustment for raising the feed dog underneath. glenn

What kind of binder you looking for? I have a clean finish top and bottom binder I had made for a Singer 144 years ago including the feed dog and throat plate. I think it is a 2 1/4" . I can check. Secondly, these oil pans are expensive. You better going to a HVAC place and having one made out of galvanized. for about 1/4th of the price. a lot of sewing machine dealers do this on long arms. glenn

Danish man, One thing you might consider is using some generic parts on the machine. Copies of the 335 are out there as are parts. Just a thought. Certainly something to consider. glenn

No knee lifts to my knowledge for the 335. Sorry. glenn

Bert, I have the screws for mounting the head to the stand and the runners for the drawer. I also had the drawers reproduced by the Amish with dovetail corners. Better than the original. Unfortunately, I am in the States. Drawers are $22.00, screws are $2.50 each, drawer slides are $10.00/pair. all funds in US dollars. Let me know what if anything you want and and I can check shipping prices. glenn

Ole South, Have you got any pics we can see of the parts?? I certainly want to see them!!

Never found needles. glenn

pics????

c6Farm, This machine was built in the 1920's . I have 6 Durkopp patchers to rebuild. What are you looking for? It was a close copy of a Durkopp but with some differences. I would need to see more pics of your machine. Does it have a hook? glenn

great. I just wanted to make sure you knew. glenn

That plate is wrong. The 29K 55 is a long arm not a short arm. The 29K51, 52, 53, 54 are short arms. The 29K55 and 56 are long arms. glenn

German made. You have pic of the model number on the brass plate. That will help us to better advise you. glenn

pics better to help you. glenn

I would reinforce the top of the bench so there is no wiggle or movement in the machine itself. I think you will find even easier to use. glenn

JB weld better to use and fix groves. Depending how deep the grove is, I sometime file the steel down just a little where the thread has cut a grove in the needle bar at the spring. Glenn

Pics??

It is bottom and needle feed machine. Not a walking foot. #138 thread is about the heaviest it will use. 135 x 17 needle system Size 24 about the heaviest it will handle. They say #25 in the book but not easy to find and a big needle for #138 thread. You can get parts. They are out there. may be Consew or Juki parts.

Answers 1. 1295 uses the same feet as a 1245. Also same bobbin case and bobbin. 2. when you replace the Efka with a servo, get the smallest pulley you can on the servo. 45-50mm8" maximum 3. depending on the hardness of the leather, 3//8" about the most. 4. great machines. The 1295 was the best walking foot post in it's class for may years. 5. US $1,500.00 is a good price. I have a 1295 with all the toys! Yours is set up for binding! That is a honey colored one from the mid to late 1980's glenn

You can get parts from Seiko or Consew that should in most cases fit. No parts from Singer.

thanks Jimi for the update. glenn

Please keep us posted as you rebuild it. Nice machines. I have had one of these. glenn

Where do you get needles for this machine? Anybody know who sells them? glenn
