Bootmakers Machine-Need Help With Needles

[compound]

Hi all

Need help with hook needles and awls for this machine. Machine wihout brand, producer unknown. Sizes of needles and awls are a little different than i bought from dealer. This system isn´t established in my country, but machine is it in good condition so i hope i got the necessary needles.

Needle on pic is broken, without point and hoko. But awl is ready

Thanks for your help in advance

This seems to be a RAFFLENBEUL sole stitcher. I think the model was MATADOR. I´m not sure but I guess it is the predecessor of the MS55 or MS200 sole stitcher.

I don´t know if it is using the same needles / awls as the the MS200 but you can buy MS200 needless here:

An here you can find a manual for the MS200

The manual could be helpful as the M200 looks a bit like your machine but I´m not 100% sure.

Hi Martin,

 

I wonder how you managed in repairing this sewing machine.  I am looking at a Rafflenbeul, but there is very little information on them

 

How do you find the machine for making soles?  Is it better or worse than Frobana or Junker style outsole machines.  I think the Rafflenbeul are unual in that they make the whole first and then make the stitch.  Frobana does not seperate this process...

 

Anyway, any information or light you can shed on these machines would be a ppreciated.

Thanks

Alex
