Good news. The 200-2 RPX uses same hook, bobbin as the 8346/20 machine of today. I think the shuttle carrier and drive gear are the same as well. . Why make when you can buy new ones. Contact Claes in Germany. I think you can buy form them direct being you are in Poland. glenn

problem with the 29K71? glenn

I have solved the problem of the 669 using a bigger needle. It takes an enlarging of the needle slot in the bobbin basket. I can use #160 and #180 needles without any problems now one I put a bubble on the right side of the needle slot with a Dremel, carbide bit and Flat Mitchell carbide cord. glenn

The slot in the bobbin basket is too narrow to accept bigger needles above a #150. That is why the thread is fraying because the needle is getting caught in the slot. You have the parts list for the 669? If not, go to Durkopp Adler website and then to products. Go under 669Eco and down load the operations manual, parts list and mechanics manual. Page number 12 of parts list shows the breakdown of the hook. The bobbin basket is part #0367156020. That has the slot in it that the needle goes into when it descends to do a stitch. I put a bubble on the right side of the slot so it will accommodate a #160 and #180 needle. Right side because that is the side that the thread come out of the eye of the needle for the hook to pic up. I used a Dremel with a carbide bit and polished it out with flat carbide Mitchell cord. Why the Eco can only use up tp a #150 needle (which they really no longer make) and the 669 Silverline model with toys can use up to #180 is beyond me. Durkopp Adler is aware of the problem because I talked to Ed Atkinson, the head of Durkopp Adler America in Georgia 2 weeks ago. I know they used the same hook from the 367-373 flatbed on the 669 Eco. The 367 had the same problem with larger needles. Send me your phone number and a good time to call. glenn

Hold both threads in one hand when you start sewing. Keeps it from tangling. glenn

What is the Brother b837-A300. You got a few pics of the machine. glenn

looks nice glenn

ok I have a 669eco. The 669 is the best machine in its class in the world. Only Seiko makes a copy of it and it is not as good for about the same price. i can tell you who has the best price on it. You can add a air foot lift to the 669 eco. I have done it and I can walk you thru setting it up. You can use a speed reducer on a 669 eco with a servo motor but cannot add needle positioner because the speed reducer screws with the needle positioner sensors. You can add LED lights to it. I have 2 different lights on the machine. You can sewing bindings with the machine but that means new feet, throat plate and feed dog plus the binder. You can make it a symmetrical feed binder. contact me. glenn

Make sure you under cut the back of the right throat plate over the hook or will not be enough clearance for the thread to pass over the hook. Ifyou can make plates, there are guys looking for them for the 67. glenn

pic please. glenn

You have to grind the sides of the spring down so they do not stick out past the outside diameter of the needle bar. I assume that is what you mean by a lot of sanding. Also file down the grove in the needle bar cut out if here is a thread grove worn in it. glenn

Go to Kwok Hing in Hong Kong. Good feet prices. Hooks check Cerliani and Hirose. Great aftermarket hooks. Adler # is 068-00-181-4. Hirose # is HAD-68. That Hirose hook is on eBay right now for$99.99. Grab it at that price. I have used them for years. Made in Japan. Ceriiani hooks made in Italy. Aftermarket feet are cheap for the 67 Adler. Remember, this is the small bobbin model. The 167 is the big bobbin model. Aftermarket slide plates are out there as well. glenn

nice job. You get the rust off the balance wheel.

Start with pics of set up and items you are sewing please. glenn

Original gears were hard. Try Sitomaco.es in Madrid, Spain. Making aftermarket gears for the 29K1 and a few other parts. glenn

H4 Pfaff 145,545 normally use the needle system #190 which is longer than the 134-35 system. glenn

Pics will help us see it functioning. glenn

How long is the belt and how many cogs are on it? glenn

Pic of the machine? The brochure should tell you the max. height of the foot lift. glenn

That is a pfaff drop down roller guide. glenn

will try to get a pic of it for you. Sorry for the lateness. glenn

Consew make a copy of this. Not sure the model #. That me be a source for replacement. glenn

I have an Adler 205-370 so these feet not of use to me. Sorry glenn

Put the head in the front or between the seats. Take it off the table! glenn

I prefer the hollow ploy belts with the aluminum burr. Even better than the solid belts. glenn
