pics please of the 68-RT72 glenn

It is Wiz. For the light. glenn

more pics of the head please glenn

26 Cobra us a clone of a Juki 341. The mechanics manual for the 341 will work on the 26. No problem. Order the machine. The 26 is not a hybrid. It is a clone of the 341. Parts are interchangeable. glenn

yes Machines are stretched all the time for specific applications. Delker out in Mass. I think was one of the best. glenn

It was stretched. Not the best job cosmetic alloy but looks nice. How good is the drive belt in the machine? The regular 167 manual will work for operations. Parts list in a lot of places still valid. You need a custom top for that one and a longer table stand. glenn

pics of the machine please. glenn

I have a manual for the 30-15 and parts list. Color of your machine? glenn

the 30-1 stitch length is a max. of 5mm. As time goes on the lobes in the bell crank wear reducing the stitch length to under 5mm. Your black machine was made before 1950. Adler started building them in 1900. Copied the Singer 29K. I have some parts. glenn

I believe it will sew 12mm. The lift is that I know. I have never seen a 105-64 with a roller foot. People have thinned the foot thickness to sew thicker. Pics would help. glenn

The cam at the end which is has the race on one side and the pulley slot on the top of the wheel is out 180 degrees. Need to be depinned and moved 180 degrees. glenn

contact Eli Schlabach at Landis sewing in Arthur, IL. He can help. glenn

pics please Glenn

There is a bolt in the back that lets you tighten the lever up. Should be about the same as on a 205-370, Need pics of the back of your machine. glenn

They vary from hook mfg. to hook mfg. The finger on my Juki 1508 is .134" width. that is a genuine Juki hook. I think the hooks were the same on both the 1508 and 563. The use the same bobbin. I usually round the edges of the finger slot on the underside of the throat plate and buff it so the thread will go in and around it without any hinderance. glenn

pics please glenn

145 class single needle flatbed walking foot unison feed VR ? not seen before 56 ? B class L for sewing leather does this machine have any trimming knives on it? Send pics of the head

servo motor time!! glenn

You take the feet, feed dog and throat plate off the machine so only the needle and the hook are left. This allows you to time the hook to the needle by hand. The hook should be very close to the needle without touching it. I believe you go to bottom dead center with the needle and then up 3/32" and needle should be timed at that point. Distance of hook point from needle should be about the width of a paper business card. Keep in mind the needle deflector will push needle from left to right before hook arrives. I also tell people to deepen the slot on the underside of the throat plate a few thousands so that #138 thread can pass freely over the bobbin case finger. Buffing the slot will also let thread pass more easily in the slot. glenn

Deed you find a parts book for the machines. That will help

Claes parts will not be cheap, but good. That looks like a Singer 34 post machine under the Claes stand? Nice glenn

Also a guy in Lithuania was selling parts on Ebay. may be the same guy. can we get a pic of the part glenn

I have seen them repainted with Hammertone Gold color. Sharp! glenn

Shoepatchers are not walking foot machines. Advertise up in Canada where you are. People looking for them. glenn
