Members sbcwylie Posted March 6, 2023 Members Report Posted March 6, 2023 Found this for an incredible CAD$800, came with 4 spare shuttles. Seems to be in good condition, looking forward to playing around with it. The only thing I see that is missing is one of the little thumb tabs to rotate the foot. Maintenance-wise, I think it just needs a good oiling. Shoepatcher, any hot tips? Quote
Members shoepatcher Posted March 6, 2023 Members Report Posted March 6, 2023 (edited) The best one made! Shows signs of a lot of paint wear. 20 or 30 model? . I rebuild them so it would repaint the balance wheel. You have manuals? I have the mechanics manual for the machine. Is it head only or did it come with a stand? First one I have seen made by Textima in an off white color. Normally it was a silver grey hammer tone color. Nice grab!!! You have needles and bobbins? Need more pics of the machine from different angles. If you contact Landis in Quebec, they are the Claes dealers. Should have the other butterfly wing you are missing. glenn Edited March 6, 2023 by shoepatcher grammar Quote
Members sbcwylie Posted March 6, 2023 Author Members Report Posted March 6, 2023 This is a -30, with the large bobbins. Came with a handful of bobbins and four spare bobbin shuttles (wowsers, CAD$435 each on the Landis site). I've got the manual, a most current version was just emailed from Claes last night, I was asking about their above-the-table machine-mounted servo motor option (but it is EUR 1100, and 220VAC). I have a stand, a clutch motor with a speed reducer wheel on it. A couple of packs of needles. I think the colour actually is the grey hammertone, the lighting was just weird in that pic. I have several more pics, They were just too big to post, will add more later. I could use the mechanics manual, if you can spare a digital copy. Quote

Post your photos here. 3rd party photos tend to go missing due to 3rd party changing policies, owner changing location or deleting files, etc. There are many tools available to resize photos. Check this link. Lots more tools on the web. When these 3rd party links are broken, much of the post or thread becomes useless to others that come along later and try to make sense of the thread. You will see a number of threads where the photos have gone! Quote
Members shoepatcher Posted March 7, 2023 Members Report Posted March 7, 2023 (edited) Your machine was made in 1986 according to the model plate. Nice find. I would do some touch up painting on it. Just me. Look clean. Absolute steal of a deal. Get the other butterfly wing. You will not regret it. glenn Edited March 7, 2023 by shoepatcher Quote
Members sbcwylie Posted March 7, 2023 Author Members Report Posted March 7, 2023 Good point, re: links going stale. Never thought of that. I can only post 1.46MB pics, which aren't big, will post as I can for the curious. Quote

A lot of users are on tablets or phones, don't even see that large a view. Can post lots of photos if you squeeze them to near these dimensions. Also good for people in the fringes of the internet that have very low download speeds. Quote
