The title says it all and I couldn't resist! Overall it is in good cosmetic condition and seems to have been looked after properly. It is worn, like so many these days, only gets 8 SPI..

Hi,

 

7 spi are factory standard.

Thats mentioned in a 29K71 - 73 manual but I think it is a misprint.

My 29K71 right now has 4.5mm - 4.6mm - thats approx 5.5 SPI. So 7 SPI in the manual can´t be right.

I have absolutely no idea what the large awl type tool is in the top left...is sharp tho! I think some of the fun is finding what, if any, hidden treasures might be stowed away in the drawer!

I replaced the feed motion crank in my 29k71 two years ago and after filing the new "puck" for the best fit in the ring, it consistently gives me 5 spi

Thanks for everyone's input thus far as I still have to find the time to disassemble the machine and give it a good clean and inspection. I think it is then that I will have a better understanding of the next steps to take.

I am still a novice, so the actual stitch length doesn't bother me as much and I am sure it will all come together on different projects and finding the stitch length that is aesthetically pleasing to fit the project at hand....all in due time I guess!

@Wizcrafts...are you referring to Part #82149...Feed Motion Cam Wheel? By your description of the slight modification, I think I have the right part narrowed down. But through reading of your various threads pertaining to the 29K's, particularly the later models, I know it can be a number of things...will take it slow and see how it goes. I know for sure that I have a bit more than a 1/16th movement at the bell crank lever..at least it gives me a place to start. Thanks for your insight!
