shoepatcher Report post Posted February 13, 2023 That looks like a 17 class or18 class. I have the manuals in hard copy. I do not give them away since I paid for some of them. I need to see the bobbin to determine what model. glenn Just now, shoepatcher said: That looks like a 17 class or18 class. I have the manuals in hard copy.

Black Dogg Report post Posted February 13, 2023 (edited) Lonewolf, that is definitely a Class 18 Duerkopp. I got one almost exactly like it and got it going again. Here's a thread I posted a while back: And here's one for the manuals: As far as finding parts, you'll have to either canibalize off another machine or find a really good machinist to make any parts you'll need. From what I understand, the Duerkopp factory was bombed in WW2 and all the machinery and patterns were destroyed. When Adler bought them out, they didn't bother with Duerkopp's design, since they had their own patcher. Whatever you do, don't loose the shuttle for the bottom spool! I've had two machinists look at mine to see if they could replicate it, so I would have a spare, but neither one was able to do it (even with all the CNC tooling!). I see yours still has the drawer and original slide-on table. If you decide to take her apart, don't loosen any of the guide wheels that are attached to the shafts that run inside the machine. These have to be exactly aligned or the machine won't work. When I cleaned up mine I used a lot of Kerosene to soak and loosen all the hardened oil and grease. After getting most of the goo out of the head, I used petroleum jelly (vaseline) and a good sewing machine oil to lube everything. For needles, you will need "System 88" or 332LL . I'm not sure if anyone still makes System 88 needles, but 332LL are available on Amazon and other places. Good luck with your project!
