Kohlrausch Posted January 26, 2016 Report Posted January 26, 2016 (edited) I'm still trying to figure out how moving the lever changes the spi . Hi, here http://www.occaphot-ch.com/bernina-startseite/industrie-masch/ you can find a downloadable scan of the German sewingmachine mechanics book "Der Nähmaschinenfachmann". Vol 2 (Band 2) describes the old Pfaff 335, starting at page 108. It's German, but at least there is a drawing of the stitchlength mechanism. HTH Greets Ralf C.

Members TinkerTailor Posted January 26, 2016 Members Report Posted January 26, 2016 Those german manuals are pretty cool. In Volume 2, on pdf page 80 i found a scale diagram chart of all the needle systems, I have never seen this. A scale visual representation of needle systems could be pretty useful for finding needles for these old machines. I wish I read german..

Members dikman Posted January 26, 2016 Author Members Report Posted January 26, 2016 Thanks Ralf, even if I can't read the words, there's some great drawings in there. I'll have a closer look later. "Complete" makes sense, as part 9636 would then include the eccentric that fits over the main shaft and the outer race that it rotates in. I can see where slightly different sizes could then vary the max/min stitch lengths available. Which means I'm stuck with a minimum of 6 spi, but it's workable.
