    Loks like the Consew motor.

    Yeah. $900.00 is high if it has no reverse. Normally, the model number will have an R with it if it has reverse. i.e. 227R or 227 R-1. glenn

    Copy of Singer 153Kor W 103. No reverse on machine. Medium duty cylinder arm machine. decent machine. Head only worth about $400.00-$500.00. retail used. Uses maximum thread of #138. 5 stitches/inch max. maximum sewing thickness about 3/8". glenn

    Woodstove, I found the part #10634 in a Consew 255 parts manual. If it is a Seiko machine you have, this part should be available. Any Consew dealer should be able to get you that part. It is shown on the 255 RB3 parts list. I would try Michael Simards in Canada or Hoffman Brothers in Chicago. Hoffman Brothers is the master distributor for Seiko in the US. glenn

    Text Bob or call him first thing Monday to see if he can delay shipping until he can get he other part for you and ship both at once. glenn

    Then tight the spring down in the rest position. I had it backwards. Sorry. glenn
  10. shoepatcher
    The spring should be under no tension until you raise the foot. That is how I would set it. glenn

    Folker, That looks just fabulous. You did on hell of a job on that. Fun to rebuild? glenn

    Jesse, Where are you located? If in the states, call MJ Foley. They are the largest Juki dealer in the country and sell Mitsubishi motors. Very knowledgeable on them. Call 1-586 948 6070 and ask for technical assistance. glenn

    I have seen them where the rod enters the hole in the bracket and then just bends. It is held in place by a small cotter pin and there is no upward bend in the rod. You can also try bending the bracket out ward ever so slightly. remove the bracket from the machine before you try bending it in case you put to much strain on the bracket and snap it out of the casting . glenn

    W.S. Bessett still in business making attachments for sewing machines. They are in Maine now. I have used them in the past. glenn

    I have a service manual for Claes 8346 machines glenn

    It could be both. We need to see pics of the packing and the machine to better help you. glenn

    I have seen coiled springs cut down because they initially had to much pressure for the application. I would start by taking a link out a time and see if that changes the pressure on the foot. glenn
  18. shoepatcher
    Damn. That is a new one on me. glenn

    Folker is correct. The 30-5 is a long arm high lift small bobbin machine. Small bobbin like the 30-1, high lift like the 30-7.
  20. shoepatcher
    The Adler is the better machine because it is a high lift version, long arm version. However, some parts are no longer available although I might have them. The Singer is the better machine for parts and availability. I would buy the Adler but that is me and I rebuild patchers. glenn

    Is that a 205-370?  Is so, the owner should have been shot leaving it in that condition!!~!!  .  Any questions, contact Allen at Weaver.  He is the foremost expert  on that machine having worked on them for over 20 years.

    Wiz. Really? In Japan, it should have been labeled 29K172A, not 29K172. MUMMMMM???? glenn
  23. shoepatcher
    Nice Jimi. It binds well. Remember, generic Pfaff feet are cheap. glenn

    Most of the machine seems to be there. It is a green colored meaning they were made from the late 50's to early 70's. Cleaning is up, possible repainting of the head, rebuilding it should not be too hard to do. Take lots of pictures while doing it. I rebuild machines as does Constabulary. I would take the machine on. glenn

    No. The 29K 171, 172, 173 series followed the 29K71, 72, 73 series. It was the last series made at the Kilbowie plant in Scotland. Is yours gray or kind of a slate blue in color? For some reason, people have more trouble with the 171,172,173 series. Many consider the 29K71,72,73 series the best Singers every made in a shoepatchers. It is the one most copied by Clone makers in China.
