WeekendHobby Report post Posted May 26 I have a Landis #1 (Landis Regular Lock Stitch Wax Thread Sewing Machine) that is in pretty rough shape but I think I've almost got it running. I have a couple of issues that I'm hoping someone can help me with. #1 - the timing seems off. The shuttle starts its travel back toward the machine before the needle has started to rise. So, there's no loop to catch. I'm thinking that I may need to rotate the hand wheel relative to the shaft but I'm hesitant to start fiddling with this until I get confirmation #2 - If I lift the presser foot it stays up and the only way I can get it to "release" is to pry up on the square bar that surrounds the spring. I assume that there is a better way and would love to know what it is. Thanks in advance for any help! Tom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He can help. glenn I'm not sure if he's still in business? I mailed in an order/parts request for some Landis 16 parts over a month ago. Didn't hear back so I called and left messages a couple times...No reply as yet. I hope it's just an oversight on his part and nothing worse. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
