It´s apart and now the fun begins. :)

A lot of parts are literally covered with a crust of dirt and oil. That usually is not as bad as it looks cause the parts are kinda "protected" - but I will see...

Cooking "patcher casting soup" @ 8amps in the electrolysis tub - yummy!

Not bad for the 1st run but it needs some more.... Figured the Dürkopp paint is a lot tougher than the Singer paint (as on a 29K).

First parts I cleaned are the gear box components and figured a nice feature.

The very large pinion (23mm diameter) is held by an eccentric screw. First guess was it is for timing (well it may have a small influence but I don´t think it is supposed to adjust the timing) but as far as I figured (will know more when reassembled) it is for compensating wear on rack and pinion. Why do I think so? Because the further you turn the screw (left or right) the more it pushes the rack against the gear box wall but does not advance the rack much. Lucky circumstance - the rack and pinion are in good condition!

brownish-bronze - kind of.... no matter what it will never be like the original. I´m aware of that. I only can try to get close. I will not try dozens of shades but will try to find something with an antique touch... or so... ;)

some cleaned parts

Interestingly most of the bigger parts are marked with the last 3 digits of the machines serial number.

nice C!!!   Durkopp mad the shoepatchers in 25 machine lots.  The problem was parts from one lot would not necessarily work form one lot to the next.  The number on it was a serial number part for that machine or lot.    The parts sure look nice and cleaned up after being in the electrolysis tank!!!

more parts to clean (bobbin winder and other bits). Disassembling the bobbin winder was a little tricky. I feared to break something - fortunately I did not. :wacko:

Lots a tiny bits n screws...
