Members johnny91 Posted September 15, 2020 Author Members Report Posted September 15, 2020 (edited) Hey guys, look what I found here. Are these 2 screw holes for edge guide, finger guard or? Does any subclass of 545 has these set of screw holes? So far, I didn't see this on any 545 models while searching the internet. What do you think? Edited September 15, 2020 by johnny91 Quote

What do you think? Maybe someone tapped those holes in for an edge guide? They don’t look factory IMHO. Quote
Uwe Posted December 14, 2020 Report Posted December 14, 2020 Yup, those are mounting holes for edge guides, like home-made. You may need a KB09 adapter bracket in order to install one of the popular KG867 edge guide or similar. Both are readily available from various vendors on Ebay end elsewhere. You’re missing the manual foot lift lever, by the way. Easy to replace and not a big deal if you plan to hook up a pedal or knee lift to operate the presser foot lift. If you’re buying a new manual foot lift lever, make sure you get the correct version for your H3 model. That part varies between the H1/H2/H3/H4 models, if I recall.

DonInReno Posted December 14, 2020 Report Posted December 14, 2020 Nice purchase! Even the Singer, if it sews ok, could be sold for $400 since it has reverse. The repaint wouldn’t bother me if it’s in good shape underneath. Quote

One big reason I chose Pfaff over Singer is because I easily found a cheap OEM Pfaff table for it (I was so lucky, because I wasn't looking particularly to be OEM Pfaff table), so I just needed to fit the machine and It was ready to sew. With Singer I couldn't get easily one that fits at least here where I live. Edited December 15, 2020 by johnny91 Quote

Regarding the manual foot lift lever, I couldn't find the exact part no. 91-010 735-15. I found some others that look similar, like for 1245 models or so but I don't know If they would work as it supposed to on this model. If you know where I could get one, I'll be glad to know. Quote
DonInReno Posted December 16, 2020 Report Posted December 16, 2020 I think you did good - I’d also take the Pfaff 1st Quote
Members shoepatcher Posted December 16, 2020 Members Report Posted December 16, 2020 There is a guy in Lithuania that sells Pfaff parts I think on ebay. Always has good parts and good prices. Check that out. glenn Quote
Uwe Posted December 17, 2020 Report Posted December 17, 2020 If you’re located in North America you can call MJ Foley at 1-800-MJ-FOLEY and check if they have that part available. The part shows up in their database when I search for it in my web interface, but I couldn’t see pricing or availability data. MJ Foley stores the part number as 91-010735-15 in their system. They show both OEM and Generic versions. Quote Uwe (pronounced "OOH-vuh" ) Links: Videos
