hi Constabulary,... i figure that you know a lot of dürkopp 252 series.. I'm restoring a 252-4, and is have now simanco feet, and unknown needle plate and feed dog...and an original dr8ve belt yet... Brazil has a lack of old durkopp supplies.. could you suggest needle plate/feed dog alternatives and maybe, some belt supplier??? thanks

20u and 021d201 series are embroidery machines in essential, because despite have power to sew even a soft leather or jeans, with appropriate needle, this machines was made to speedy and no to power.. i have a 021d, but I'm restoring now a durkopp 252-4(similar/clone of singer 107/143)..its more slowly, but i can sew ¼ of leather easily....

thank you Northmount

hi people... I'm restoring this durkopp 252-4 , a strong and versatile zigzag machine, but it's a little poor of information about that... it's vwry similar a singer 107w and 143w, but with some proprietary particularities...one doubt about it is this red marked bushing bearing, where works the shootle hook case axle... there's a screw to supposedly hold this, but in this moment, to adjust the hook/needle proximity, i need to make a tool with nut and bolt to move it,.. there's some marks of hammered, indicating the previus owner had problem with this...my question is- this part is naturally tight in the machine body or it should be easily moved, releasing the screw in yellow (its hidden in image, but just above) thanks for any experience...
