Hightex / Cowboy CB3200 Problem with Presser lift

[Miquel]

I have enlarged the arm adding a piece of metal. Now the lever law is working efficiently.

Of course, must to make a hole on the table for pass the chain.

Now, with the feet can go up the presser foot without any effort. More control too, due that no need to make big effort and you know exactly what amount of strenght are using.

Before too much strenght and loss the control, then the chain can be broken...

I just put again the stronger spring on the lever foot assembly. No need to put a weaker one. 

Just a little bit of work, no need to make anything with the machice, just unbolt  two bolts and re-bolt again with the added arm.

'Thanks Bob, very happy with the machine. I have It almost ready. Whit suspended guide, the extra large handle for presser up the, flat needle plate, feed dog without teeth...Almost ready.

Only need some needles. 

So difficult to buy needles in Spain, only can find LR points and need to buy minimum 50 needles...

I would like to buy some S and LL points for make straight stitches, but difficult and must to buy 100 needles per size...So, a small fortune if want to buy some sizes too...

This is the beast:

Not worth buying just a pack of needles but you may find other useful things too.
