Thank you very much for these insights. So there is a wax box built around the bobbin case? Is the screw on top the filler cap? I am actually on my way to stripping all the paint from the major parts as there seemed to be some paint spillage or similar all over the machine, and the original paint is chipping too. I will wire wheel all the major parts to bare metal and repaint them. Luckily the insides are in good condition. I will not disassemble the main mechanism, but I will clean it up good with solvents and regrease and oil where needed. I will most likely be using pre-waxed threads, so I will disconnect all the heater wires. I will also be converting this machine to a modern servo motor, so there are a lot of parts I can leave out from the reassembly, like the power switch, heater switches, motor mount, power transfer wheel, etc.

Thank you. I'm fairly sure it's for a heater then.

I am doing some heavy maintenance on this Pedersen 309 outsole stitcher I got for cheap. What are these wires going into the bobbin case? Are they for some kind of heater for the bobbin thread wax, or am I way off? Thank you for your assistance.

Could be related to sheet metal cutting, but don't those usually have thicker blades? The top blade is only a couple mm thick and has that pointy bend at the front. Also, 20 mm throw seems a lot if cutting 1 mm or so thick sheet metal.

Thank you very much for doing research. Very good points, might indeed be a sole trimmer. The large throat is throwing me off, why so much space. Seems like it would be for cutting deep into a large piece, like a saddle or something.

OK. It might have a very specific use then. Thank you for taking a look. I will try to google more with this information.

I'm looking for information on this leather cutter I bought from an old cobbler's estate sale. Is there a special use for it? It has an approximately 34 cm deep throat and 20 mm gap on the jaws. There is a long handle, so it can deliver a lot of cutting force. It has a swivel base that can rotate 360 degrees around and pivot 90 degrees forward or back. The maker logo is so worn I can't make out the name. All info appreciated. Thank you.

I bought this Pedersen 308 (identical to Junker & Ruh SD 28) leather stitching machine, but there is an issue: The needle hits somehow too far back, it hits the foot and the edge of the needle plate. I was thinking the needle has bent too much somehow, so I tried with 3 different needles, same issue. The plate has some damage, so it seems like the previous owner has had the same problem. I can't see a way to adjust the needle position forward. It would need to shift about 5 millimeters to not hit anything and clear the bobbin case too. Any ideas?

Thank you, looks like Sieck has very similar model machines. I will try to contact them.

Looking for any information / manuals / parts / help for this automatic eyelet machine. Dataplate says (see photo) H. Sørensen & Co Maskinfabrik Glostrup - Danmark Type RD No. 33 Brug Texaco 7120 oil The seller had stored it for 6 years in his shed. He got it from a cobbler who bought it from from an old shoe factory liquidation sale long ago, so I have no way of asking the original users. I cleaned it up a bit after I took the photos and I got it working, but I am going to clean it more and replace the belts and maybe the motor before I put it to work. I'm probably going to at least need some punch tools for different sized eyelets. The machine came with three hoppers for different sized eyelets but only one punch. I have no idea if there is a standard for punches like these or if they are propietary for this machine. Thank you for any help.
