UNC101 I ams still waiting for you to email me. I think I have a way to put a roller guide on your machine so you can sew close to the edge, shoepatcher

Gavingear, The Pfaff 545 and 1245 will sew a maximum thread size of #207. Will not sew #277 unless a lot of machineing is done on the hook and bobbin area. Let me know what parts you are missing . I can put so on to a place that has some generic pfaff parts. shoepatcher

UNC101, I rebuild shoe patchers so let me know what you are sewing and maybe we can come up with something for you. I have a few ideas. shoepatcher

China, To me, it looks like an old Singer 45K that was repainted from black to Silver and they painted over the Singer logo's and removed the Singer brass model number and or the brass Si nger plate. This happened to a lot of Singers when they were rebuilt and repainted. machine looks in goods shape. Let me see a close up of the needle and throat plate and we may be able to indentify the model number to determine what 45 K it is. shoepatcher

The Adler 30-7 is from their older class of shoe patchers. It is long arm, big bobbin, hi lift shoe patcher. It uses a longer system of needle than the 30-1. That system is 332lg Some parts are still available for the machine but Adler quit making alot of the parts for the machine after they came out with the new versions-30-10, 30-50 and the 30-70 which replaced the 30-7. I have a lot of parts for those earlier machines that are no longer available including early manuals and parts list. Let me know if i can help you.

I work and rebuild these machines. You can contact me with yoru questions.shoepatcher

Art, this is a Singer UFA which stood for Universal Feed Arm, the original name for the shoe patcher. Singer began building these machines in 1883. In 1896, the changed the name of the machine to a 29 class as they did with most machines. They went from names to numbers for the machines and subclasses. Your's is a UFA and it uses the same bobbins , needles and hook as any 29 class. Yours even has the old style bobbin winder. Hope that helps.
