  1. Thanks- Someone actually had this canopy in a home made base rig. No bueno Gunnery Sergeant of Marines "I would like it if I were challenged mentally at my job and not feel like I'm mentally challenged." - Co-worker
  2. Has anyone heard of a canopy called a unit 2 sized in 254 or 256? Gunnery Sergeant of Marines "I would like it if I were challenged mentally at my job and not feel like I'm mentally challenged." - Co-worker

  5. I'm in NC and I have a Consew CN2053R. The handwheel sometimes spins on the shaft. I need the two screws that lock the wheel to the shaft. I have called Consew but all they do is send me to distributors that are worthless. Does anyone know where in the USA I can find someone that knows what I'm talking about and can sell me the parts? Consew won't help me and the distributors they send me haven't a clue with out a part number. I have been to harware stores with the wheel to find a srew that will work but no luck. So help me god if someone replies with an answer like call consew or go to home depot they should stand by for an ass chewing on how they need to learn to read and have an attention to detail.

  6. Thanks but I looked there and did not see it listed. I saw the parapack stuff but it is not described as backed with any foam padding. Edited to say that I called paragear and they no longer sell para-pack backed with foam and to call a container manufacturer. Don't think the manufacturers will be willing to give that info up. Anyone else have a source? Gunnery Sergeant of Marines "I would like it if I were challenged mentally at my job and not feel like I'm mentally challenged." - Co-worker
  7. Does anyone have a source for foam laminate? Or what ever it is called- the stuff that lines the inside of main containers that has a cushion type quality? Or perhaps the stuff that feels like parapack for backpads? Maybe the proper name for it so I can better search my self?

  8. Got a manual- when I get it scanned in- I iwll see about posting it to pacahute manuals.com Gunnery Sergeant of Marines "I would like it if I were challenged mentally at my job and not feel like I'm mentally challenged." - Co-worker
  9. Cool thanks. Gunnery Sergeant of Marines "I would like it if I were challenged mentally at my job and not feel like I'm mentally challenged." - Co-worker
  10. Thanks but that is not the correct one. I saw that one too, but the manual number is 10-1670-274-23&P not 271 Gunnery Sergeant of Marines "I would like it if I were challenged mentally at my job and not feel like I'm mentally challenged." - Co-worker
  11. Technical manual 10-1670-274-23&P Parachute, 28 ft., chest – 25-Aug-89 I have been everywhere to include PIA and paradhute manuals.com That manual number is a Military Technical manual. Does anyone have it or know where I can buy or download? Gunnery Sergeant of Marines "I would like it if I were challenged mentally at my job and not feel like I'm mentally challenged." - Co-worker

  14. Need them permanantly and D ring as I explained isn't what I need. Must be circular. A three ring needs to function with it. Thanks Gunnery Sergeant of Marines "I would like it if I were challenged mentally at my job and not feel like I'm mentally challenged." - Co-worker
  15. Those are the ones. Thanks for the info. Gunnery Sergeant of Marines "I would like it if I were challenged mentally at my job and not feel like I'm mentally challenged." - Co-worker
  16. This hardware I's similar to the separable "D" ring. But the inner shape I's a circle and not the shape of a D. A three ring release woul function on this piece. Two people have told they are not produced anymore. Does anyone know if there is still a supplier for this hardware? The part number is RW-6 and it I's called a Cochise ring with separating bar.

  18. have to do some shopping. it took me a few months. but I knew the 20U or 2053 was going ot be it. I finally found it for 625 with shipping brand new. I don't think that is horrible. The shipping was 99.00 Gunnery Sergeant of Marines "I would like it if I were challenged mentally at my job and not feel like I'm mentally challenged." - Co-worker
  19. Good point. I'll keep it in mind for nay future problems. Il like to fix it myself reading the book. I do all my own stuff that way. gunsmithing, rigging, computers, cars, ect. that way I know what was done and what wasn't. and I don't have to keep calling or going to a tech. Now obviously if it is well out of my scope I would take it or call someone.

  20. Sure. PM sent. I guess the attachemnt didn't take in my post. Edited to say that the file size even after zipping it is over 200KB. If any one wants it, just PM me the email address.

  21. Did that too. a few times. I attribute that to just being in a hurry. Gunnery Sergeant of Marines "I would like it if I were challenged mentally at my job and not feel like I'm mentally challenged." - Co-worker
  22. E thread form paragear is bonded correct? @FLJB The needles you are using are good to go. I only doubted for a milisecond but since you said you have ben using them I went with it. Yes they do work. Some how my machine ended up ass backward too. Tthe knobs still work righty tighty and lefty loosy but the needle now moves backward then I move the wing lever and the position knob. Oh well just have to remember and be observant. @ Base The timing seemed to be the issue. but somehow in all this changing needles and making sure the one I had did have any burs, I put the last on in backward. Once I saw that the 180 degree facing the wrong way and fixed it, I double checked/ fixed timing and now the thing sews like a champ. Thanks everyone for the help. As a bonus I am attaching the service manual I got from singer. This manual can be used for the consew CN2053R the all the singer 20U models to include tacsew 20U models. It helped me with my machine. Hope someon can use it. Gunnery Sergeant of Marines "I would like it if I were challenged mentally at my job and not feel like I'm mentally challenged." - Co-worker
  23. No offense at all. I appreciate the help. My old rigger mentor saw he post and wrote to me via email too. Haven't talk to him in a while. anyway. I have the singer service maula now and the singer user manual. better englisha and better instruction period. same machine. It may be bobbin tension causeing me to tighten the top tension too much. When I get it straight I'll post the fix. this way anone doing a search can see in the future. Thanks for the reply. It got the problem solving juices flowing.

  24. Very helpfull. thank! The instructions are half in japanses and the english is not that great. I just downloaded the singer manual for 20U. I figuer it is the same machine so why not. Good to know. now I don' thave to buy needles. Yes I did this. I just re-read the manual. I think the two on the front left are lety loosy and righty tighty. The knob on the left side by the needle is toward user lock and away from user unlock. Shouldn't matter except then doing something that requires the needle to move. like a sewing a zipper to the edge of something. did this. The machine moves smoothly and I can adjust swing size. But like I said after about 2 inches or so. The thread doesn't just break it shreads. meaning the twist of the thread is disintegrating one piece at a time. Tension seems to be fine. The manufacturer send a piece of fabric under the pressure foot with some straight and zigzags on it. the thread used was inthe bobbin so I know that the machine works. but when I put Nylon E and changed the needled and went to check it out. the straight stitch worked well after some upper tension adjusting and the zigzag was shreading threads.

  25. I just got a brand new consew CN2053R it cousin in the singer 20U53 or some may have seen the tacsew 20u53 knock off. I have a problem. Was wondering who had any helpfull info. I put assembled everything and was setting it up so I can rig with it. In straight stitch mode, it sews fine. Reverse- forward thread tension looks great. I tried it with a 135X5 #18 needle. Regular nylon E thread. When I go to ZigZag mode it keeps shreading the top thread. I am going full swing of the needle. Thread tension looks good but after about 2 to 3 inches the top thread shreads and breaks. The manual says the needel is to be 135X9 I am thinking I used the wrong needle but I'm not sure and before I go out and waste time and money I would like to make sure. Could there be any other issue to look at also? The manual doesn't give anythign for troubleshooting. My main experience is with a singer 281-30. If anyone has a service manaul for the CN2053R or 20U53, then I could really use it. Thanks!
