Recommendation: Syncronized Binder Bracket Pfaff 345, 145, 545, 1245,

[Constabulary]

I was hunting high and low for a synchronized binder bracket for my Pfaff 345 and finally found one more or less in front of my door. It is for the 145, 545, 1245 flat bed machines but actually fits for the cylinder bed 345 w/o problem. Only difference is that the original 345 bracket has a slanted panel towards the operator and this one has a flat panel but does not bother at all.

I bought it at www.rimgm.de for 88€ + shipping - I know Kwokhing also has them but I only needed this particular bracket so I think it would have been more expensive to order it in HK since I don´t have to pay hight shipping and custom fees.

This bracket is actually made in Italy and quality is quite good. Its made of 1/8 steel - so really sturdy! Comes with all parts you need for attaching it to the machine + a special screw driver thingy. It has a kind of quick release. The pivot stud can be left on the machine.

Just wanted to share this since these Pfaff synchronized binder brackets seem to be hard to find on the web.

This it the original 345 bracket it belongs to LW member TROX - I hope Tor does not mind showing his picture here:

And picture from the Pfaff sub class list

 

 

There is also a DIY variant another LW member made but I prefer out of the box solutions when ever possible - however the DIY works well, see his YT video
