Sewing machine for make guitar straps

[jimi]

Hi Folker, if you have a race kicking around that would be cool. i might check out that needle bar?? thanks. the other part that was broken on this old machine was the spring in the roller tension unit, these were different to the later ones so i could not fit the newer check springs on the post as it has a different diameter but the whole assembly from the newer type fits so that is what i done. but some day would like to put the old one on with the old type spring.

Jimi, I´ll send you a PM - parts are too off topic.

Hi Miquel - now I recall you - so you did not buy the CLAES harness machine? These machines are nice but you are right spare parts are no longer available and needles are a problem. A Singer 45K for sure is the better choice.

who could that be

Wiz - its a 45K with reverse.

Hi Folker, Finally i did not buy the Claes, i was woried if i need some replaces. 

Today i have bought the Consew. I have found IT for 500 euros, with clutch motor, but goes Very slow, even still Can change the pulley for An smaller one.

I think that now, for me, would bé better use thinner thread with the consew than goes for a more vintage màchine.

Either a Consew 206 RB-1 or RB-2, looks identical to my Consew 206 RB-1

Thanks for the replies. 

I will try to be sure about that, i am going to buy An edge guide roller, and IT seem that diferent models have diferent way for fix the engine... A mistake hereu would bé a bad bussines...

simple edge rollers are quite universal fitting they mount to the flat bed with 2 or 1 thumb screws. You should have 2 threaded holes that line up with the presser feet
