Landis No. 16 Installing The Head Of Machine

[BattleAx]

I picked up this machine in Dillsburg PA from Joey Sewing Machine needed to be cleaned up but was a really good deal. I contacted Eli over at Landis Machine Co for a few parts a brass shuttle I sent him the old one and he sent a working one. Had it sewing but there was an issue of it breaking the thread. I sent the machine to Eli and he had to replace a few parts inside the machine it sews like a champ very tight stitch I love this old machine. I picked up the machine last Friday and over the weekend had the wife help me install the head. Eli has a whole shop full of old Landis 16 and other very cool old industrial sewing machines. Eli is a very cool old man 82 and still working on these big machines. It was so cool to meet him and see his shop. I have photos of the old machines I will post later. I live in Georgetown SC..

Now that is COOL! Pretty clever, you taking the pics while your "willing" helper does the work. 

Incidentally, I like the anvil stand, that's also .
