Wiz, the 34K11 subclass it the much heavier subclass in the 34K range. The upper arm and hand wheel are from the 45K and it has a larger hook than the other 34K's (like 34K5 or 34K1 or the like). It is using the 214x2 / 328 needles.

Thanks for the help so far. 

 

Realised now that the machine I'm thinking of buying is the Singer mentioned in here. If I do drive up to her and the Koch is in working order I'll try to snap some videos to you for your record!

Okay, thanks Folker. Still, the shuttle sure looks like the one in my Adler 30-7. I think it will help if the O.P. can take the bobbin out and place it by a ruler so we can see the diameter and depth. Also, he could remove the needle and tell us what number is printed on the shank. It looks like a really large needle.

Outside height: 1.2 cm 

Inside height: 1 cm

Width: 2.6 cm

That bobbin is twice the inside capacity of my Adler patcher large bobbin. it is about 5.5mm inside depth, 6mm outside depth and 2cm wide.

Should make for a heavier thread then?  Anything else I should look out for / check when picking the machine up? Might go next Sunday.

do you have a picture from the left side / the face plate so we can see if parts of the tension unit are missing.

Will ask for photos on this! Also how do I assess if the rest of the machine really is as heavy duty as it should be? Take up lever measurements? (And of course tension unit?)

Here's a pic of my 34-11 & yes it is the HD model,the bobbin is same diameter but slightly wider than a standard M bobbin.It can use real heavy thread since it has the 45K upper arm on it,some just had the smaller 16,17 class upper arm.Parts for it will be almost impossible to find.The shuttle looks like but is larger than the 30-7.

Bobbins can easily made.  or larger bobbins turned down.

I just measured the difference  a M bobbin is .80 thinner,so he could put a piece of cutout business card thickness in the bottom to prevent the bobbin from backlashing if he had to.
