Hi, this model is Minerva 01204-P1 (variant Va - with small bobbin) manuals are on www.amfreece.com/d345-deferred… (but for Minerva machines is only in czech language).
What do you mean "size of the arm"?

i mean what is the lenght of the horizontal arm. for example, if you have to sew a tube on it's lenght, how long can that tube be?

thank you! did you ever had problems with it? any idea if spare parts for this can be found?

that is the problem, the machine is not in the production more than 20 years and the manufacturer www.minerva-boskovice.com was purchased by Dürkopp Adler in 1998. So actually there is no manufacturer for spareparts. Sometimes you can buy some parts or whole broken machine for spareparts, but thats all. But the good new is, this machines are solidly made and if you use it kindly, can work for decades.

ok Tymur, thanks for your patience. I was thinking to buy one, but now i have some second thoughts because of the arm. I wanted to make a2 leather arkitect tubes. A tube like that has 60cm lenght, so 46 it s not enough. I think i will dig more, maibe i will find one with a longer arm.

you welcome.
I'm afraid, that will be problem. Things like you described I make by hand sewing
So good luck and have nice day.
