Claes Patcher

[sandyt]

Hello people,

Is this a Claes 200-1?

It is no rpx because the arm says needle 88. Rpx uses needle type 81. So the rpx manual says.

Does Anybody have a manual for the 200?

Google gives little info about this type.

Or Claes patchers in general.

Sometimes one topstisch is realy realy loose. 1 of 20 stitches or so. Can't find out why. Looks like a simple tension issue though. Bit everything looks fine and smooth.

Max. stitch length is oke I guess. 5mm.

Maybe a manual could help me out.

Don't use the machine very much. Very very little actualy. But when I want to use it, it's always a hassle.

sandyt,

I recently restored the same 8345-30 machine also known as a 200-3 machine. It uses the large bobbin and class 88 needle. The operators manual is too large to post here. If you'll PM an email address, I'll send it to you.

sandyt,

If that is a big bobbin machine, it will use system 88 needles. That certainly looks like an earlier Claes. I think I have a manual for the 200-1 but it is in German.

Take some close up pictures of the aluminum model plate on the front of the machine.

Hello Glenn,

I don't know how big a big bobin is. This is the only patcher I have ever had.

My machine doesn't have a model plate like Evo160K's.

German would be no problem. I'm from Holland. Most Dutch speak or read a fair amount of German.
