RockyAussie Report post Posted January 22 Sounds good. Thanks for correcting me on the LS 1342 as against the LS 1341. Just check the sump, it should for some reason have a bung which has a washer that can get to leak easily. I checked mine the other day and all of the oil has seeped out. Ruined the edge of the stuck on table strip. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Constabulary Report post Posted January 22 (edited) 12 hours ago, RockyAussie said: Main thing of difference is that the top feet feed and needle system on the 1341 has a rectangular setup that allows the stitches to remain evenly spaced whether thick or thin leather is fed through. It sounds quite interesting as it would eliminate the pendulum effect of the needle bar but I´m not sure about this.That would mean the pivot point of the rock frame is NOT on the top side of the rock frame as on almost most other triple feed machines. I think I have to check the 1341 parts list for that.... Edited January 22 by Constabulary Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
toxo Report post Posted January 27 A little bit closer. If one of those Houthi missiles get it I won't be best pleased. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's not the half of it I have a video of everything I've asked for 10.5mm stitch, 3mm stitch, same hole backstitch, speed reducer, slow stitch, fast stitch, and more and pictures. I spoke to her every day on WhatsApp. If only I can figure out how to get the video sizes down I'll show you. I suppose I can put em on YOUTUBE and post the links. The only glitch was a vibration on the first video but because they were dismantling straight after they hadn't tightened the bolts. They did another after sorting the bolts and it was gone.
