Landis#1 parts.

[speedybri]

Hello. 

I found a Landis #1 at a very good price and in considering buying it.  I have gotten into a lot more heavy harness work but need to sew with natural thread, linen/cotton.   

My question is, how hard are the parts to find these days?   Needles, awls, etc...? 

Thanks so much for any and all help.

Moved your post to leather sewing machines.  You'll get answers here.

They use the Schmetz 331LR needles, which at one point I think were discontinued, but looking online it appears some suppliers show inventory so maybe they started making them again?

Parts I highly doubt will be available, other than finding good used parts or making your own. If anyone were to have them, check with Eli Schlabach at Landis Machine Co. in Arthur, IL (217-543-3464). He's mainly in Landis #3 and Landis #16 machines, but he might have something.
