Hello,

I bought a second hand HighTex CB243 which I believe is a Juki TNU-243 clone. The machine stiches great, timing seems OK but I keep braking needles again and again... At a point where I am reluctant to use the machine

It looks like either feed dog, either needle bar is off and I believe this to be the origin of my braking needle issue...

I looked into TNU-243 service manual because machine did not come with any manual and it does not show how to move from left to right the feed dog or the needle bar.

Hello CowboyBob, thank you very much for this documentation. The needle to shuttle clearance seems fine, I believe the needle to hit the feed dog, as I can clearly see impact marks on the feed dog and also if you check on picture you can see that needle is too much on the left when going through feed dog hole

Also, mine being a flat bed version, so I believe adjustments will involve parts that might differ
