Arawlings702 Report post Posted January 22, 2019 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 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chrisash Report post Posted January 22, 2019 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 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Evo160K Report post Posted January 22, 2019 (edited) 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. IMG_2999.MOV Edited January 22, 2019 by Evo160K Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shoepatcher Report post Posted January 23, 2019 (edited) 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. glenn Edited January 23, 2019 by shoepatcher Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arawlings702 Report post Posted January 23, 2019 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tkw Report post Posted March 15, 2020 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? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
