Pfaff 145-P-6C H4LMN

[sandmanred]

I have a chance to buy this machine.  It's a long drive so I want to be sure it's what I'm looking for and the seller doesn't seem to familiar with the machine.  Please help me understand this model number.  I'd like to know the clearance under the presser, stitch length and max needle size possible.

 

Thanks

I have a machine very similar to that and it sews great, here is some info I probably copied from here.

P = Four motion drop feed
C = Medium materials
H4 = High lift 14mm
L = Leather
M = Safety Clutch
N = Stitch Length ?
 

Not sure about the availability of parts I have not needed any, small bobbin but Its not a issue for me.

Thanks!

I see they have different hook arrangements for leather and cloth, any idea idea how specific they are?  I mean can I still sew cloth with a leather machine or do I need to change over to the cloth specific parts?

Would the 6 in the model number be the stitch length?

Not sure about the 6 being stitch length but I have a couple manuals and I will look to see if there's any addition information.

I sew leather with mine, not sure about fabric.

From a Parts manual I found,

N = 6.0mm Stitch length

Manuals to big to attach, its 3.38mb.

Does anybody know the actual changes in the machine that Pfaff makes to put the "L" in the model number instead of "S"?  (L is for leather, S is for fabric)
