Members Mats Posted October 5, 2023 Members Report Posted October 5, 2023 Hi! Im new to the forum and also rather new to the leatherworking in general. I have got a nice 168w101 post bed machine that I have cleaned and got it working nicely. However it came only with 1 bobbin.. it is sensetive to have the correct bobbin due to how it sits in the shuttle etc. I have failed to source someone who sells these aftermarket. Does anyone have a tip where I can find these bobbins? Or maybe someone on the forum have a excess amount of these laying about? I have attached a drawing, as you can see it has flared sides and is rather tall. part nr. according to a old pdf i looked up. 233939 plate 17253? thank you very much Mats Andersen, Norway Quote

Moderator Wizcrafts Posted October 5, 2023 Moderator Report Posted October 5, 2023 I have the same machine and use standard size G bobbins in it. These are the same bobbins as used in the Singer 111, 153, and 211 machines and many others. Quote
Members Mats Posted October 5, 2023 Author Members Report Posted October 5, 2023 thank you very much Ill look at both suggestions and see where it takes me:-) Mats Quote
Members Mats Posted October 5, 2023 Author Members Report Posted October 5, 2023 It seems that the G style does not work in my machine. It is lower than the 233939 causing the bobbin case to sit too low. It seems to be causing problems on my machine . The 168W bobbin is supposed to be 30/64's in height. I found a listing on ebay actually, so I will let you know how it works out. thanks anyway guys:-) Mats Quote
