looks like the 45k89 sold very well in the UK? they appear constantly on ebay there. and some others? at the moment it seems to be the best place to find one of the class 45 machines? already 8 of them up for sale there?? in the end folker the 45k92 i showed you for parts came home with me, and after cleaning it seems too new to break down so i will look to get it welded and move it on to someone.  (EX 736179... you won´t find that one in ismacs list?) you wouldnt have a left side needle plate for sale would you ??? the one that slides off?

There's also this, which I think is a 45k37 with 1/2 inch stitch

Not sure about the sellers user name though

That one looks modified to me - the jump footy system looks like one from an Adler 4 (I guess) and seems the adjuster screw for the jump foot system has been replaced with an odd one - it also has no reverse and seems to be "cheaply" over painted (did not remove parts in advance)  I would not buy it without having it tested. The more I look at it the more I would not buy it at all.

EDIT:

Yeah - just noticed the seller name - seems to be wear some "brownshirts" -  (where is the puke smiley)

ha ha - you learn something new everyday - never noticed this before - holy crap Thanks for the hint, Neil!

On the subject of obscure 45Ks, this has turned up. A 45K74 on a 29K stand with what looks like all the parts that wore out and were replaced over the last 100 years. There's 25 spare throat plates included 

I can't find any information about the 45K74 anywhere.

I've seen mention of that foot in a Singer 45 class manual. It is a shoe sole foot that is curved to the right to clear shoe uppers as the sole is sewn around the perimeter..

I Think these plates are all user made. feet and dogs also or the feet and dogs are from an Adler or Claes and modified ?
