Recondition ? , a 29-4 Bell Crank Lever .

[Constabulary]

I described the small difference between 29K1 (and later) and 29K71 BCL here (follow the thread)

https://leatherworker.net/forum/topic/60554-29k1-pre-christmas-barn-find/?do=findComment&comment=390874

The 29K5x and 29K7x class have an almost identical head - the difference I recall is a pinned (+ set screw) "lifting lever shaft lever" (82081) on the 29K5x series whereas the 29K71 lever ( 82154) is just clamped an therefore adjustable so a higher foot lift can be achieved.

I´m pretty confident that you can use the 29K7x BCL (82167) probably w/o any modification in you 29K53.

Thanks constabulary, don't need one right now but think i may buy one for reserve as the machine will no doubt need one at some time and at those prices £13 from college sewing not a big deal and never know when they will disappear

i find BCL in aliexpress, anybody to know how is quality? Thanks!

these parts are usually not branded so no one knows who made them and therefore its hardly possible to tell if the quality is good or not but since the parts are rather cheap (price wise) - why not giving it a try. Not much you can loose.

or try ebay - same sellers I guess
