Members blaw Posted January 15, 2013 Members Report Posted January 15, 2013 Does anybody have a 29-4 base they want to get rid of or trade. Or do you know of any other vintage style bases to hold a cylinder bed machine? Bryan blaw Quote
Members Anne Bonnys Locker Posted January 15, 2013 Members Report Posted January 15, 2013 Most cylinder bed machines used a standard heavy weight treadle base. The 29 series was different in that the left side was lower then the right. An angle grinder and a bit of ad hoc engineering will get around the problem. The 29 base had two band wheels - smaller and much smaller - unlike a standard model. Some later models had a groove cut into the handwheel and if you use one of these you will reduce the speed.

Members JJs Leatherworks Posted January 16, 2013 Members Report Posted January 16, 2013 I purchased a 29-4 machine a few years ago that had been motorized. At the time of purchase, I received a (as far as I know) complete treadle stand for it as well. It is in pieces, but I still have the box with all the nuts and bolts I received at that time. Problem may be, it is in Alberta, and it is heavy. I will likely never make use of it and am open to offers. JJ Quote
Members billymac814 Posted January 18, 2013 Members Report Posted January 18, 2013 You can also just get a stand. I got one for about 300 or so bucks with a new servo motor, its just like the stands the Cowboy 4500s come with. Its more versatile than a patcher stand. Because of this I now have a spare Adler patcher stand however I'm going to hang on to it in case I ever decide I want to set it up somewhere without electricity. Quote

Members lowlife Posted January 23, 2013 Members Report Posted January 23, 2013 Where is your location I have a base that I will let go to keep the wife off my back for what she calls hoarding lol. Let me know if you are interested I'm in Kentucky Quote
Members rromano158 Posted December 8, 2013 Members Report Posted December 8, 2013 Does anyone still have this item for sale? Would a 29K70 fit on it? Thanks Quote
Members blaw Posted December 9, 2013 Author Members Report Posted December 9, 2013 That should fit. I don't have an extra though. I'm going to list a base for a long arm Adler. Had a 29-4 on it but the 29 was mounted to a board and the board to the base. Send these guys a pm to see if they still have the. If not check feebay, Bryan Quote
