kolb Report post Posted April 15, 2012 (edited) Hello, I have just bought a Pfaff 545 ,a model that I was looking for for some time now ,but unfortunately besides the fact that there is a part damaged,it is a special version that I wasn't aware of. It has a stitch lenght of 10mm but can only be adjusted between 5 and 10mm and there is no reverse. It seems that the 545 was offered with 6,8 and 10 mm stitch lenght option.The 6 and 8 have both reverse.The 10 mm is really odd as the action of the stitch lever work the opposite way of the others.To increase the lenght , the lever goes up ,to decrease ,goes down .When I remove the guard that block the lever I have reverse but only 5mm lenght. I really wonder wat that machine was made for. I have only tried it by hand for the moment. By carefull reading of a parts catalog found on the web, I think that I could transform it back to the 8mm lenght by changing two parts only.The good news is that these parts are standard on the 145 / 545 / 1245 with 6 or 8 mm stitch.Probably also the 2 needles variants but I don't have the parts cat to check. The bad news ist that the part that is damaged is unique for the 10 or 8mm 545, so probably much more difficult to find, I can also revert it to 6mm lenght but then have to change much more parts. So I am looking for someone who is dismantling one of those models and willing to sell parts. I will try to post some pictures if there is some interrest for this post (must find how first). Thanks.
