Consew 202Rb

[Rastus]

I recently came across a Consew 202RB. I can't find any info on it and was wondering if it is worth messing with??? Will it handle chaps/chinks???

Years ago I used to sell a model#201 & if the 202 is similiar it'll handle chaps ok.

You are in luck.  With obsolete or oddball machines that don’t have any manuals available it’s usually quite acceptable to follow a manual for a different machine with similar design.

95% of all industrials use roughly the same dimensions for hook/needle timing and clearances.

I only looked at the parts diagram for a minute, but there seems to be a lot of similarities with the 206 series of machines - Consew is known for poorly written manuals, but Seiko sold an identical machine and it seemed there manuals are much better.

As with any sewing machine - making any adjustment without knowing what it does and knowing how to go back to the original adjustment is a quick way to disable it.   On one hand this is nice because after a lot of frustration these machines are often sold for next to nothing.
