The seller wants 110 $ for it and it's cheap because in my country the industrial sewing machines are not so wanted, so the price is always lower than in USA, for example. I bought my pfaff 546 with less than 200 $

thank you all, guys. So, it's not such a bargain as I originally thought :D I have a friend who is a lathe operator and could make the needed parts for it, so that I would not have to reach into the former USSR, as @gottaknow mentioned :D

Thank you, @Wizcrafts. But the actual name of the company producing these I guess you do not know. I asked for detailed photos from the seller, as it's a bargain the machine. The father-in-law of the seller sewed in the past leather belts with it.

HI all. I am in a search locally here in my country for a cylinder bed leather sewing machine (currently I have a flat bed pfaff 546 converted to work with only 1 needle) and I have found at a decent price a sewing machine, made in USSR. I guess this states for the soviet union. My question for you is if there is someone in here that worked with this kind of leather sewing machine, or at least with a USSR one. I have attached a picture of it. Thank you in advance!

Hi all. I am new to this forum and to leather upholstery and I managed to get a walking foot pfaff 546, originally with 2 needles, but converted to work with only 1 needle, exactly as the one the initiator of this topic has. The machine is in good shape, but I have some issues with it. I have followed the above discussion, but I cannot figure how to fix my issues. The main issue is that the outer presser foot is not lifted during the sewing. The inner one walks just fine, but the outer one just stands, without lifting. I have attached a couple of link for photos and 2 videos (because of the image size requirements), maybe I have to tighten a screw or something. Also, it has a clearance of material of around 7mm. Isn't that too small clearance? Thank you in advance for the answers. LE: The machine sews, but I have to drag the material by hand (as it's pressed by the outer foot), so it's in working condition. https://www.dropbox.com/s/ba6o5ypl3vj4yqg/VID_20170523_132515.mp4?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/erjfr6k1dkcimwg/VID_20170523_132005.mp4?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/vnk3zrlue9w6wrk/IMG_20170523_132117.jpg?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/yv94icfi7u9atk3/IMG_20170523_132056.jpg?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/24l39hszte4ssa3/IMG_20170523_132035.jpg?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/i4c1nd3fu4ltm7v/IMG_20170523_132017.jpg?dl=0
