Advice for cylinder arm machine

[Kohlrausch]

Hi,

 

cheapest offer I can find in Germany is 1900 Euro for a Pfaff 335 new with servo motor. The 335 and the 441 compliment each other, but don't replace each other - IMHO. What do you want to sew?

About kornetshop: The shop-imprint says they are located in Prague, on Ebay he says he is from Bishkek, Kirgistan, and on Ebay-Kleinanzeigen he has clainmed to be all over Germany at the same time. Just make absolutely sure you can actually get the support you expect.

kornetshop.com is not a "he" ..kortnetshop.com is a "she"

domain registrant is Svetlana Moiseeva..( website contact says Frau Dubina Svetlana )

has European VAT number ..VAT number: DE 241602141

The owner is probably originally from Bishkek, Kirgistan, and is now married to a Mr ( Herr ) Dubina ?

Legally the business must have an office presence in DE in order to have a DE VAT number, whether that means they have machine stocks, or spare parts in DE..I cannot know.

Or maybe just a business address there and maybe the actual business is elsewhere, I cannot know..the telephone number is in DE ( Kaiserslautern ), but, telephone numbers, when called, can be redirected automatically to anywhere in the world if one wishes.I have business / office addresses and phone/fax numbers in countries where I do not live, to do so is legal..When dealing with any business , one researches, and one makes up one's own mind.

whois details for that domain..

An extra 500 Euros for a "tuned" servo motor? Wonder what an earth a "tuned" servo motor is, first time I've heard of that in all my searching.

Hi,

it is a translation error. Brunnet's homepage states the machine comes with a special motor that enables extremely slow sewing of one stitch every three seconds  (20 rpm) by means of gear reduction. So in plain text me thinks this machine comes with a servo motor and a speed reducer.

Like this one? (min 9.00) Greets Ralf C.

Thanks Ralf, if so seems pretty expensive for a speed reducer?

[Constabulary]

Ha - that's the same servo I had before (the 2nd servo I tried actually) - this annoying beeeeeep sound was a pain - I could not stand it.

[mikesc]

That beeping would drive me insane, sounds like Harry has R2D2 powering his machine there..

 

just a note..belt length isn't measured on the inside circumference of the belt, it is measured on the "median" circumference..which means it is between the outside circumference and the inside circumference of the belt..So to get the belt size that one needs, measure with your string in  the bottom of the grooves( inside circumference of the belt ), and then with your string at the top of the grooves ( outside circumference of the belt) subtract the smaller figure from the larger, divide it by two, and add the result to the smaller figure..that is the median circumference belt that you need..most times you can adjust the motor or the reducer to compensate for only having measured the inside of the belts, but sometimes you can't..ordering by the "median circumference" number means fewer belts that "won't quite fit no matter what you adjust"..

 

Most of us here will know that, but for anyone reading who didn't , it might save you wasting some money on belts that are "just a bit the wrong size".

Measuring Harry's way ( the inside circumference ) will get you a belt that will be just a little bit smaller than it should be.
