Members Calidora Posted July 5 Members Report Posted July 5 I recently purchased a Pederson model 308 and noticed that it needs some parts. It's missing the entire tensioning unit and the parts circled in the images. I believe they are interchangeable with the Junker and Ruh SD28. Is there somewhere that I might find these parts or am I out of luck and will have to make them myself. Thank you for your time Quote
Members Mulesaw Posted July 5 Members Report Posted July 5 @Calidora I think the only place to find spare parts are on Ebay or similar sites. But just as a "warning" before you spend too much time and money hunting parts: The needles are really hard to find, and not readily available. I once checked Gross Beckert, and they'll make a production run if I ordered something like 500 needles. But if you have a couple of needles, then all is good :-) I have a machine like it at home, but I have been too busy tinkering with it. But I am pretty sure that it dodn't come with any spare parts (I am at sea right now, so I can't go check it) Brgds Jonas Quote

I looked through Ebay and they currently don't have the parts I need. I'm sure I can make the tensioner and the plate thing myself but the screw for the stitch length is another story. If I knew the thread pitch and size, I might be able to make one on the lathe but I'm not sure. never made a screw before. I do have a machine shop near by maybe I'll go to them if I can find the info I need. thanks for the help. Quote
Members Calidora Posted July 5 Author Members Report Posted July 5 I'll add some images of the machine. Maybe some of you will see any other parts that are missing that I did not catch Quote
Members Mulesaw Posted July 6 Members Report Posted July 6 @Calidora There is a German classified page that usually has some spare parts on it: https://www.kleinanzeigen.de/s-junker-ruh-sd/k0 I just searched for "Junker Ruh SD" at the moment there are two parts for sale. But there have a seller that had a bunch of parts. I know that shipping will be a bit expensive,but I hope that you'll be able to find the parts. Brgds Jonas Quote

I didn't think to go on a German page like that. Quote
Members Calidora Posted July 12 Author Members Report Posted July 12 Ok. So I got it home and I was able to find one of the pieces. (You never know what you'll find at the flea market) I still need the stitch length set screw assembly. If someone has one of these machines and they wouldn't mind showing me how it goes together. I might be able to make one for it. Quote
Members Calidora Posted 17 hours ago Author Members Report Posted 17 hours ago I still don't have the correct parts but I made it work(to a point) I manually adjusted the stitch length by hand and I ran it through the tensioner of my Singer 51w54. The top tension is a bit off but considering how I have it rigged up, I think it's alright. Quote
Members Mulesaw Posted 7 hours ago Members Report Posted 7 hours ago Looks pretty good I'd say. I am signing off the ship Wednesday, When I get home I'll take a look to see if I can make a drawing of the missing stitch length regulator for you. Brgds Jonas Quote

These are the parts that go to the stitch length regulator. Quote
