Hello all! Maybe following information could be helpful for someone. I've bought the same machine as JJN and sent a letter to Claes on their website where I asked about needles and shuttles. That's they answered me: Hello, I have to say sorry but for this machine we do not have any original parts in stock. In the past when other customers with the same machine needed spare parts I always told them the following. Spare parts from our current machine can also be used with restrictions. Especially with the needles and shuttles you want, there is a high probability that it will work with these parts. regarding the shuttle: It is possible that a new shuttle does not fit into the machine straight away, because of the modern manufacturing processes, much narrower tolerances are possible than 150 years ago. Then some material has to be ground off on the circumference of the shuttle or the hole in the machine has to be drilled out. This is mostly only a few 1/10 mm. regarding the needles: I know from previous campaigns that the needles for your machine have to be a little longer, even though they have the same needle system as the needles that we are currently using. That means that something has to be done to make it work, like NOT pushing the needles into the needle bar as far as they will go. In both cases, however, you must first determine which subclass your machine has. The easiest way to do this is to determine the diameter of a bobbin and compare it with the attached PDF. Shuttle for subclass 10 costs 155,29€/pc Shuttle for subclass 20 costs 68,55€/pc Shuttle for subclass 30 costs 177,86€/pc Needles always cost 0,62€/pc. But these are only available in packs with 10 needles. Then there are the shipping costs to Latvia and if you don't have a sales tax identification number (in Lettland "Pievienotas vertibas nodoklis") we have to charge 19% sales tax. best regards Sven Schallenberg production manager CL Maschinenbau GmBH I'm from Latvia by the way)
