Champion patcher sewing machine

[c6farm]

I bought a consew sewing machine from a retired gentleman today.  He threw in this Champion patcher machine as well. Does anyone have any info on these? I can't find anything online.

that appears to be a relabeled Dürkopp 17 or clone of the Dürkopp 17 patcher machine but with some minor differences as it seems.

EDIT:

Very similar, right?

I bought a durkopp 17 and promptly broke my only needle.  I can't find where or what type of needle to buy for my machine.  If you have any info that would be great!

Thanks,

Jacob

Class 17 usually takes the System 88 needles - some take 332 LONG. Both needles have the same length but slightly different shank diameter. I would first try System 88 needles. Do not take 88x1 needle thats a different needle.

Uwe, I see a  pile of little parts....  I need the screw that holds the bobbin carrier in place, and bobbins.  Needles too, but Constabulary posted a source there.   This machine worked fine until I diddled around and lost the screw.  I should have just let oil dribble in but thought I'd keep the area clear if I took out the carrier.... The bobbin shown does not fit, by a smidgen.  The little cup shaped thing I think is not related, or is it?    Yes, those are rifle cases and a nice buffalo robe.  And the wooden flat table that fits on the arm.

Thank you, and God bless.

I don't actually have one of those Dürkopp 17 machines, nor do I have parts for it, sorry! The picture I posted was just one that I found online to illustrate how the machines are indeed similar. 

[MikeRock]

Well, Rats!  Does anyone else out here have bobbins and that silly little screw?

God bless

c6Farm, 

This machine was built in the 1920's .   I have 6 Durkopp patchers to rebuild.  What are you looking for?   It was a close copy of a Durkopp but with some differences.

I would need to see more pics of your machine. Does it have a hook?
