How to correct insert bobbin and Shuttle ? There's nothing detailed on the internet about this 24-1 machine.

Today the Adler arrived and I've tried to sew .
Problem 1 is that it's not picking up the under threat.
The needle witch was already in was broken . So I used a needle that was in a package laying in de drawer .
332 110/2 . Maybe wrong needle size or ?
Look at the pictures

Who can tell me more about this earlier version ( ? ) Pfaff 24-1 . There's not much on the internet . A user manual seems to be impossible.
There came some nice old stuff with this machine . Incl very old tools .

I see a lot of these on the internet. But the one i own seem to be rare . A 1892 version is from the first year they came on the market !?
I'm not sure about that !

A question ! I see a lot of Singer post bed versions with reinforcement .. see picture.
Are these larger 34k versions or what is the reason for this ?

For shoes and inside rucksacks or other not to big repairs i use ( i forgot to mention it before ) an Adler 30-1 machine. A nice one and fully functional . It does 4.5 from the 5 mm stitch length, that's nice after so many years .
O ... In the barn we have a fully dismantled Adler 30-7.
And the Bobbin case out of that machine seems to fit into the Singer 34K .

I look for everything that i like . Most of the time they come on my path . On flee markets, Carbootsales etc .
When i use the machines that i already have i sew everything. Most of the time thick material's. A Pfaff 130 for regular the normal stuff.
In use Singer 132k6, Singer 132ksv18 roller-foot with reverse , Singer 45K89 converted into a roller-foot version and now recent that Singer 34K type from 1892 . And this one i think is not for heavy materials !? But i could be wrong .
The Singer 132Ksv18 did cost me quite a bit of money. But that was included a lot of materials .
Needles en yarn as well.
For that one i paid 500 € .

So what sort of leather/ production would this machine have sewn in its day?
They had no idea what they were selling.
HS
What kind of materials this machine was sewing a long time ago, i don't no .
Maybe someone els knows that .
How much would a machine like this cost ? On Ebay or as collectable?

Some parts of the decals on top are still visible. It's repainted yes , but in a very bad way . There's a lot of the repaint gone . So I could check the machine in a easy way . At last i used a magnification glass as a second opinion. No holes , nothing . In that area is only a very thin layer original paint left .
For now i cleaned a lot off parts in a ultrasoon cleaner .
And they look great .

Rare !? There's no brass plate with class 34k1 or ? mentioned on this machine .
It looks as if there never was a plate . Only the Singer logo in brass .

A User manual in pdf is already arrived and printed . See quote above.
Maybe someday I'll vind one in paper .
Parts manuals in paper are not number one on my search list .

@Constabulary thanks for the manual in pdf . I already printed it and every page is sharp . The images as well .

Sometimes you can't have it all haha . I'm glad that the machine is functional after so long in a Barn .
It's now a roller-foot type and that's oké with me .

18 hours ago, jimi said:Nice one Oldiesfan...nice to see the oldies are being saved!
As long there are people like us a lot of these will be saved from scrap yards.
But sometimes there's only one option . Take them apart and save the parts that are oke and ready for a second life.

On a new made old look table the 45k89 is in working order . The 8 cotton thread mentioned in another topic is working fine in this machine and with the needle installed that was already in the machine when I bought it.
-
The mechanism for raising up the roller foot is especially for ?
Under what kind of circumstances do use it . And with what kind of materials?

1 hour ago, Constabulary said:I have one - please send me a PM with your email address
If the hook is missing the machine is using the large 29K hooks as for the singer 29K60, 29K72 or Adler 30-7
Thanks ! A pm is send .
I'm not looking for the parts manual ! That one is already downloaded .
A user manual is what I'm looking for .

For me it's just a hobby . And i like the old heavy industrial cast iron machines . Not only the Singers .
Modern machines are to expensive and no money is coming back when I would buy one . No work for it .
-
Does somebody have a correct User Manual for this machine ?
Soon I need to clean it in a decent way . When i bought it nothing was moving . With heat and wd40 it came loose. For now everything is moving and it picks up the thread . That's a good start for the beginning .
I bought this one for a scrap metal price . 5 €

Just found this....Folker restored one of these
Thanks for the reply
You're answer is correct !
I lowered it into the hole and tightened the bold . When turning the wheel and at some point the roller foot is raising.
This machine's weight is 27 Kilo .

Thanks ! for the answer to my question.
That's very old .

Is there somebody who can tell me what kind of machine this is and how old ?
And when possible explain me please the mechanism on top near food tension. It seems that you can lower this into a hole .
Maybe a manual?
Thanks

51 minutes ago, Wizcrafts said:Most people who sew leather, vinyl and canvas use synthetic thread that has been coated in a polymer or resin that bonds the filaments together so they don't untwist as you sew. Some threads are more heavily bonded than others. But, any bonding is better than none. Glazed thread is smoothed out and the little cotton or linen fibers don't stick out. It is better than just mercerized, but not as strong as synthetic bonded thread.
Thanks for explaining!
Tuesday the rolls of thread will arrive. The Glazed Thread will arrive. I'm very curious this time , curious about how it feels / looks and the strength. And how large these rolls are .

What's the correct needle size for this machine ? Or what size should be in wright now under these adjustments. This because the 332 doesn't pick-up?
