Just acquired a vintage claes patcher

Recommended Posts

Looking for close up photos of a vintage claes patcher to see what a complete machine looks like. I recently acquired a machine I thought was a 29k but turns out its actually a claes. I emailed the company that obtained claes and waiting for a reply.  I know its missing parts but it was local and some days I'm an optimist or idiot.  I'm in Las Vegas, NV area

Did it have 100 meters of old rope attached to it when you found it, I see its on the beach, that gives a clue

Wonder how it happens to have a Singer decal?

Here are pictures of one I restored.  I tore it down to the casting.  Let me know if you need other pictures, I have many from the teardown.  If it turns out you don't restore it, but part it out, would you please let me know, I need a part or two.  Most parts are still available, although pricey.  The movie shows some of the backside.

 That is either a Claes 200 series or RPX.  Certain parts not easy to come by or are no longer available..  I have a few.  Just trying to figure out what you need.  Contact me, I may be able to help.  It may be a parts machine as well.

Evo160k. Thank you for taking the time to respond and post the pics. You did a beautiful job restoring your machine.  Your video is perfect. Everyone takes pics of the front of machines but rarely the back. Mine was used as a display in a boutique in Vegas. I have to take a die grinder to some tack welds used to immobilize the machine and cross my fingers. At that point I can try to replace bolts on the back and see what moves when I turn it. If it doesn't fly apart,  I'll try to disassemble and get the bead blaster to remove all the rattle can residue and determine parts needed.

Hi guys! I have aquired the exact same machine as EVO160. Have restored it, but of course I did not think about the timing of the bobbin driver (?). Anyone able to help me out?
