I found one other post on here, unfortunately, they didn't explain what they did, just that they figured it out. Also, all the manuals I can find online are missing 3-4 pages (weird). Anyway, if anyone could explain or show some pics on how to adjust the stitch length on this old beast of a machine, I'd be very grateful! Scott- Also, if anyone has a COMPLETE manual, they could send me a copy of, that would also be great!

I know this is an old post, but would you mind explaining what you did to adjust the stitch length?

Appreciate the input! The machine head isn't 400lbs (LOL) I lifted it by myself out of the back of SUV and carried it into my shop. And as "strong" as I'd like to think I am, I am definitely not 400# lifting, walking, setting down strong!!! I was definitely planning of adding some angle iron underneath. I had also found a butcher block that was 3" thick I was considering using. The current (decaying) table was only about 1.75" thick. Was hoping that almost doubling the thickness and adding the additional supports (that aren't currently on the stand) that it would work well... Thoughts?

Reviving an older thread for a follow-on question... I am needing to build a new table for a Singer 144W302 (30" long arm) I recently acquired. The existing table has some rot where the hinge cutouts are. Luckily I can use it as a template for the cutouts so that's good! My question(s): 1. Thought's on a minimum table thickness for this BEAST of a machine? 2. Butcher block or stacked sheets of plywood? 99% sure will be adding a white laminate to the surface. 3. Existing table is pretty MASSIVE (~72"x34") I already have 2 other tables that this one will marry up to for the flow of the larger projects. So was thinking of cutting it back a bit, something like ~30" x ~60" see any red flags with doing that? Table will reuse the existing leg/foot hardware that's on casters... Appreciate any insight/thoughts you all may have!!!

Just a quick sanity check... But to my understanding, the Singer 144/145, Adler 220, Consew 744/745, Juki LG158 pretty much all use the same parts. Is this a true/mostly true safe assumption? I am trying to find some parts for a "new to me" 144W302 I just picked up and am finding what I think are the same parts, available and listed under different machines... Thanks for any possible help/guidance!

Thanks!

Yeah, that was the one I noticed at first as well. But yeah, no oil window. I already sent a message to Atlas, curious to see what/how they respond...

I was hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction. I am guessing this machine is a clone of something but not sure which brand. I thought Juki at first but couldn't find anything that looked like it. The oil window in the center stands out so pretty easy to weed out the wrong ones. But still have not found the exact match. Even tried Google image search and nothing hit. Appreciate if someone could point me in the right direction. Also, if anyone has any first-hand knowledge of this machine, I'd appreciate hearing that as well. I need/want a double needle machine for an upcoming project (marine vinyl) and for now it's just for one project so I don't/can't justify spending a ton on one right now...
