No I didn’t 😊

Thank you for that!

Hi all, I recently acquired an early Claes bootpatcher, badged “Hugo Wertheim Melbourne”. Its in great condition for such an old machine, filthy but no broken or missing parts, and I have managed to get it stitching with the help of an old manual in German, and the manual for the newer machines, in English. It came with some needles that are too short, I had to slide one needle down in the needle bar till it worked. I am interested if anyone has a manual for these old machines that’s in English. Also and more importantly, I would like to find a source for the proper needles, which I suspect is system 88, or even just the length of this type of needle.. If anyone can help I would be very grateful. Thanks in advance!!
