    Ok crossing fingers toes and eyes.

    Poking for parts for a landis 1...... Don't laugh so hard please .....

    A shuttle is my main goal, a bobbing or two would be great, needles in good shape or needle bushings a great plus.

    A foot or two would help. Don't need any of the wax pots or stand thanks though.

    If you know of any please let me know

    I will sell you the whole machine for 550.00 and you can take all the parts off you want plus you will get some xtra stuff to go with it. I will send it to you piece at a time if you want. I need to get it out of my shop. mike

    Are you talking about the needle bushings? They are made of brass (bronze) and are all the same size OD - it's the internal diameter that matches the needle size that keeps things going well on the Landis #1.

    So far as I know, unless somebody has a secret stash someplace, these are now made of unobtainium. I think they would be a snap to get made, though. Brass barstock in the correct diameter, slice off a 1/4 inch chunk and center drill the correct size hole. My favorite little old man machinist has gone over the great divide, but I'm sure you can stir up someone who can do this for you.

    You will need to provide him/her with the outside diameter (do you have even ONE intact bushing?) and then the needle size you need the bushing for. I'd have to dig out my one spare bushing and put a micrometer on it to be able to tell you what the OD is - and am not machinist enough to do anything but guess at clearance to actual needle diameter to make it run right.

    Do you have the manual for your machine?

    Kate. I dont have a manual but I will take you up on your offer to copy yours. Send me the details and I will send you the money. The thing I noticed was missing is on the bar that slides up and down with the needle. It looks like a guide that would keep the needle from rickosheying off to one direction or the other. It also looks like it may have a single spring wire to put pressure on the top of it. Thanks for your help..
