Hi my brother made shepards crooks and sticks using rams horn. The horn was boiled in water and when soft where tied to a wooden former. Left like this for a few days and the field sanded and polished. I know this is not what you asked but may just help. Arthur

If its working why bother. Is the needle striking the needle plate , presser foot or looper? If not I would leave alone. Just my 2d

Search ebay for pocket watch glass. All sizes up to about 50mm at about £3.

Hi Martin same hear.I have been looking for one for ages. I tried a engineer that repairs fork lift trucks.No joy. Some where on net some one was using a gas reg in reverse but now lost the site.I will be very interested if you find one that is not to expensive! Arthur

When I bought my S7 this casting was cracked at the hinge. I took it to a mate that repaired aluminium former for the shoe trade.He welded it with a stick welder (DC?),That was 25+ years ago and is still good.

They are round leather belt pliers I have two sizers of these in my tool box. I was a industrial sewing mechanic all my working life. Arthur

We used this type of pliers to notch card patterns in the clothing trade. search pattern notcher. Arthur

I put one of these motors on ebay last year bin £40.It sold in 40 min. Buyer picked it up next day said at this price if burnt out it was worth rewinding! But like you say very heavy motor.

We used this type of clutch/motor on sewing machines. The spring and roller whent down the motor shaft to keep the flywheel and pulley apart. Hope this helps Arthur

We used a belt like this on Quick Stop sewing machine motors.Google for Quick Stop belt. There are two sizes. They where also used on a tape cutting machine that came from Germany. These belts where much better. Arthur

You need to put clutch brake on by pushing on the "heel" of the tredle and at the same time squeezing the belt together. The nylon is just a plug to lock the nut. We some times tap (belt) the spanner with copper hammer.
