Got the K69 mounted on the treadle for testing, worked well.  Not sure about the length of the stitches yet, they seem to be about 1/4 inch so far.

Ha ha! spot on Al..

Thanks Jimi, I'll add it.  Jimi, you don't ever need to apologize to me, as far as I'm concerned, you can do no wrong.

Sorry to unearth an old thread but I’m looking at getting a restored 45k69 and was wondering if the stitch length can be adjusted? I see where it says “up to 1/4”. Can it be made shorter?

Absolutely! There is a lever with a large thumbscrew that rides in a long vertical slot on the upper front right side of the body. Move the lever up to shorten the stitches and vice versa. Tighten the screw to hold the stitch length.
