Thank you Wiz! I called Campbell Randall this morning and was able to order the wax pot strippers and the rubber insert. I could have purchased the ULS lube pot, but it would require welding a tab to get it to mount on the 4500. I plan on drilling and tapping my current lube pot. Everything should be here next week.

I called Beiler’s today and they don’t stock the one shown in their catalog with the thread wipers. They did have one for a union lock stitch machine, but I feel that it’s too big for the machine and would require too much customization to make it work with my machine. I reached out to a few other companies and they don’t stock the one with the thread wipers either. Even if I was able to just find the wiper attachment, I could drill a hole and tap my current lube pot. It seems like they don’t make them anymore.

Hello, Does anyone know of a company that makes/sells the lube pot for the 441 with the thread wiper attachment? I found an old thread on here where someone shows a Ferdco lube pot with this attachment. I contacted cowboy and they don’t have them. Not sure if they even make these anymore? If anyone can point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated!

I have stainless steel #104 rivets, but I can’t seem to get them to set with a nickel cap. I contacted weaver and they said the stainless can be used with the cap and to use the nickel plated steel caps. Anytime I try to set one it ends up crushing like a tin can. the rivet press might be part of the problem due to the anvil being slightly off center. I tried to adjust this, but there is no way to accomplish this as far as I can see. if anyone can give me tips that have accomplished setting the #104 rivets with caps, it would be greatly appreciated. I will attach some pics for reference

I have a custom foot press rivet machine and I can’t seem to find a guide for it. I’ve looked pretty much everywhere and came up with nothing. If anyone has a lead it would be greatly appreciated! I’ll attach a few pics of what I have and what I’m looking for. This is the type of guide I’m looking for.

Does anyone know where I can find the drop down guide for a cb4500 with a flat edge guide? The only guides I can seem to find come with the roller edge. My machine isn’t predrilled for the drop down guide, so I need to drill holes as well. Is there an after market knob that will work with the lifting mechanism since the stock one is kind of bulky? thank you

I’ll give them a shout! Thanks for the tip, I appreciate it!

I live in the United States.

Does anyone know of a supplier in the U.S. that carries Coats Dabond in 277? I have a wholesale customer that wanted me to use this on their products, but I can’t seem to find it anywhere. I emailed coats on several occasions and didn’t receive anything back. Thanks for any help!

Not sure if this option even exists, but I’m looking for a left foot blanket set that has an open toe center foot that will fit a CB4500. Im sure this isn’t available as a stock item, but maybe someone might carry this or can customize one? If so, can anyone point me in the direction of someone who could help me out?

Looking for a source of semi-tubular brass rivets with a flat head. It seems like the semi-tubular rivets available online has a round or oval head. I'm also searching for #12 solid brass rivets wit a head smaller than 3/8". Don't know if these are even available, but figured this was the best place to ask.

I checked the timing and everything looks good.

What would cause the top thread to break on a 441 clone ONLY when making a turn? The timing seems to be in check. The needle seems A bit close to the presser foot. I've tried new needles, but I get the same result every time

That's what I'm going to do. After much wasted material and few gray hairs.... thanks to to everyone who responded
