Wizcrafts Report post Posted January 13, 2010 I am getting a Union Lockstitch machine (ULS) in trade for my Adler 204. The ULS has minimal accessories with it. The machine has the standard extended throat plate, a roller edge guide and closed standard pressor foot. I am looking for the following spare parts, preferably from individuals, not retail outlets. Needles (various sizes) Awls (various sizes) Bobbins Raised throat plates for holsters and pouches Other non-standard throat plates Non-standard pressor feet (e.g. left toe, right toe, open front double toe, stepping foot [5 to 8 to inch]) loopers thread guides Swing away, non-roller edge guide Various springs and tension parts (esp. bobbin cover springs) Misc straight and tapered screws, nuts and bolts T-wrenches A users' manual Threading rod Take-up lever/spring and lifting parts that wear out Any other replacement parts you don't need Let me know what parts you have laying around and how much you want for them, shipped to Flint, Michigan.

Wizcrafts Report post Posted January 14, 2010 Thanks to Andrew Wood, I now have a manual for a Union Lockstitch machine. I only need everything else in my previous post! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wizcrafts Report post Posted January 17, 2010 The following parts are from the Union Lockstitch parts list and pictures. Looks like I will need some replacement 4-sided screws, # 5 and # 117, some shuttle screws #253, a few awl set screws #86, and maybe a needlebar and definitely a new needle set screw # 133. Other screws needed are for the brake: 2 #19, with 2 #20 nuts. I'll need a new knockoff stud #12 and these springs: #148, #241, #292. I could use a spare pickup thread point #276, and throat plates #250F, 250N and 250G. Also, small and a large four-sided wrenches in good condition. I can use needle sizes 2, 3 and 4 and awl sizes 2, 3, 3 1/2, 4 and 5. Any leatherpoint awls would be a treat! I'll post more requests as I find more worn out parts. BTW: my machine serial number is 42xx. Does that indicate that it was built in 1942, or that it was the 42xxth machine built? Thanks in advance. I hope someone has spare ULS parts they can let go of. PM me if you have parts to sell! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wizcrafts Report post Posted January 20, 2010 It turned out that my new-old Union Lockstitch machine came equipped with a custom modified stepping foot, set to about 6 wide, ugly steps to the inch. Does anybody have a flat bottom, standard pressor foot they can spare? I also need a raised throat plate for holsters and cases. Anybody??? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wizcrafts Report post Posted January 26, 2010 (edited) Wiz, I have some needles in sizes#2,3 & 4 @ a good price. Let me know if you need any. Thanks, Bob Kovar Bob; I'll take a pack of each size. Now, does anybody have awls 1/2 or 1 size larger than these needles? (Sizes 3, 4, 5) Edited January 26, 2010 by Wizcrafts Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wizcrafts Report post Posted January 30, 2010 I am having difficulty finding #1 1/2 needles and #4.5 or #5 awls for my Union Lockstitch machine. I still need replacement pressor feet, any type (including a standard foot), and raised throat plates for shaped holsters and cases. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
