I have acquired an older Claes 8346 - I believe it might be a 10 because the bobbins are TINY.  I'm just curious if it is possible to swap out the cylinder/arm to essentially upgrade the machine to a 20 or 30.

 

Thanks!

@barcsaddlery, I split you out into a new topic. You were just going to get lost at the bottom of a 6 year old thread,

check the parts list and try to figure what parts are needed but I honestly doubt you can do that and even if it was possible the parts will be crazy expensive.

Might be able to but will be expensive.    Parts list will show parts that can be switched.  Both 10 and 20 use needle system 81.

10 bobbin holds 12 or 13 yards of #69 thread   not much difference
