I am looking to sell this Landis Aristocrat Model L outsole stitcher. It's in northern NJ for anyone who'd like to pick up -- but weighs nearly 800 lbs. (Unable to ship unless you arrange all of it including a pickup.) I'm looking to get around $600 for it. It works perfectly! My dad was a shoemaker but has since retired and doesn't need all his machinery. Hope someone here might be interested.

A while ago I acquired two Junker & Ruh SD28 outsole stitchers. I first bought one refurbished actual Junker & Ruh from eBay Germany that came with lots of misc. accessories; and then discovered a Pedersen model 308 locally that I also went and got for €200. I wasn't sure what state the Pedersen it was in, but figured I'd use it for spare parts. As it turns out, they are both in great shape and fully operable! The screw that holds the rod the top thread spool sits on was broken on the Pedersen and I couldn't adjust the tension, but after I drilled it out and rethreaded the hole it's all good. Here they are. Now, I have one issue. The Pedersen's max stitch length is considerably shorter than that of the Junker. In the following picture the top row of stitching is the Pedersen and the bottom row is the Junker: Since I have two of these it doesn't really matter that much, but it would be nice to be able to for example have two different thread colors or thread thicknesses on hand without having to fiddle with the top and bottom tension on one single machine every time I want to use a different thread. The Pedersen also makes slightly nicer stitches, so it would be cool to have it be able to match the Junker also in terms of stitch length. Does anyone know what might cause this? Any parts I should inspect for wear? And yes, I have of course tried using the stitch length adjustment screw to no avail, haha. Also, does anyone have a needle plate for a size 7/8 needle they want to trade for one of the size 5/6 plates I have? I run size 7 needles and 1 mm. Tiger thread, so I really don't have much use for a 5/6 plate. Would also be interested in a stitching plate with the raised lip for stitching soles.
