Lasse Report post Posted June 18, 2020 (edited) Hi! First post... long time forum lurker I am looking for the top cover to my Pfaff 345-40 H3LN. Does anyone have one, knows where to get one or knows what other brands/models/clones has the same cover? The part list number i have found is; 91-014 or 212-24 Not sure of what year my machine is made, but attaching a picture for reverens Many thanks in advance! // Lasse Edited June 18, 2020 by Lasse Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Handstitched Report post Posted June 19, 2020 @Lasse G'Day, Had a look around but no luck , all I found was a service manual, and parts lists, which no doubt you already have. https://leatherworker.net/forum/topic/85809-pfaff-345-service-manual-download/ Theres also this: https://www.pfaff-industrial.com/en/portfolio/sewing-machines No harm in asking? They may refer you to someone that specialises in new or used parts for Pfaff industrial machines near you in Sweden ? Pfaff machines are quite good, I have an old Pfaff 60 that I use for thin leathers , still goes really well. Good luck HS Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lasse Report post Posted June 19, 2020 G'day @Handstitched Thank you for looking. Yes I have those manuals. Yes, there might be a specialist somewhere near me, but I like to get to know new people (maybe some with the same machines I have) Still waiting for this one to get home, just bought it, and I was thinking to get a hold of one before I have the machine in my hands. Once a again, thank you for looking and if you would run in to one, please have me in mind Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shoepatcher Report post Posted June 19, 2020 You are missing the slide cover. Pfaff quite making the 345 some years ago. there is a possibility that a slide plate from an Adler 269 might fit. Contact Strima in Poland. They have a web site and they carry parts for old Pfaff's. glenn Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Constabulary Report post Posted June 19, 2020 (edited) if it was my machine I would try a Seiko CW-8 / Consew 227 / Singer153w slide cover # 13024. Not sure if it fits but thats most likely least expensive alternative I guess. Maybe worth a try. https://www.college-sewing.co.uk/13024-bed-slide-seiko-genuine.html https://www.teamworksales.com/store/p2048/13024-slide-cover.html Edited June 19, 2020 by Constabulary Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or if there is any other models brands that will work? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shoepatcher Report post Posted June 26, 2020 Some parts will fit from one machine to other. Parts from the 335, 345, 545, 1245, 595 and 1295 are interchangeable. What parts are you looking to see will work from one machine to another. I can tell you the feet are interchangeable. glenn Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am not really looking for parts at the moment, except the top cover, but it’s always good to know! 18 hours ago, CowboyBob said: Yes,the feet will interchange & the larger bobbins from the 545 will work along with a lot of the walking foot parts.
