Bradbury A1 shoe patcher, bobbin case needed
SBNewton replied to Burrapeg's topic in Leather Sewing Machines
Have you tried the Chinese Shoe Patcher Machine bobbins? https://m.aliexpress.com/item/4000187116667.html?pid=808_0000_0109&spm=a2g0n.search-amp.list.4000187116667&aff_trace_key=e5531b7f53d24b17b3ac895bdcbe355a-1595951910971-06562-UneMJZVf&aff_platform=msite&m_page_id=7700amp-Mp4cXOhVSsvhQveOUTyWNA1595953646107&browser_id=c0e67d9187d54e2aaaeb46e289913b9c&is_c=N -
My research indicates it's a copy of the Bradbury A1 Repairing Machine from the early 1870s (1871-1872)! http://www.sewmuse.co.uk/bradbury/a1 repairing.htm I believe that the shuttle arm needs adjustment. When I received the machine, the installed needle was broken! I've run across THREE methods to install the carrier and shuttle, and ALL seem to be off by 10°-15°of rotation, and the thread doesn't get picked up! It just gets tangled up under the plate!

Unfortunately, Darren is out of business, and the documentation is no longer available from him! I have yet to find an alternative source! Could anyone help me with a copy? Thanks. Sincerely, Steve Newton
