I just picked up these to machines, any one know of source for a plain walking foot set? They both currently have 1/4 inch welting feet only.

Not real familiar with those models but here are the parts lists for both, part numbers may help dial in your search and if you have a dealer they should be able to order what you need with this info

Im not very familiar with those older machines but you should be able to find a set on amazon or ebay.

that was the first machine I owned. For me it was a good machine and I learned a lot on it. BUT feet are really really really hard to come by. Facebook group called "Vintage Industrial Sewing Machines" was my best source for help

bump this thread. How is this machine working for you? I am buying another

I had the 78-1 for a few weeks and then sold it. I kept the 28 until just recently. It worked great but I was doing a lot with jeans and I found the stitch length a little inconsistent. It seemed like the jeans would get stuffed into the needle slot and the stitch length would vary, it got shorter with more layers of material. I picked up a Pfaff 545 H4 so the Consew 28 got sold. I think as long as what you are sewing is firm the needle feed is good. I like the simplicity of the needle feed and oscillating hook, it's a simple solid machine. I like the Pfaff but I found the rotary hook is a little fussier to get running right.

Dang, I am still looking for other 78-3 owners. Anyone else out there??
