Wanted: parts and accessories for Union Lockstitch machine

Recommended Posts

I am looking for parts and accessories for a Union Lockstitch machine. I have posted a list of items I want in a topic on the Leather Sewing Machines section of Leatherworker.net. I prefer to buy from individuals with extra, or left over parts, not retail dealer prices.

Contact me via the forum if you have anything to sell for a ULS machine.

I definetly need replacement pressor feet for my Union Lockstitch machine, including the basic foot that is supposed to ship with the machine. Also, raised throat plates to sew holsters and cases and other plates and guides. Some of the screws need replacing, some nuts are missing, and I can use most sizes of needles and awls.

Any replies will be appreciated.

I have been able to find some new parts, but no old stock, or used parts. Someone must have extra parts for a Union Lockstitch machine that they can spare.

I would like to buy the following items:

  • #1, #1.5 and #3.5 needles
  • #4 and #4.5 or #5 awls
  • Any pressor feet for the ULS, including standard and the adjustable stepper feet and brackets
  • Raised throat plates for holsters and stirrups, with and without slot for edge guide
  • Short-ended throat plate to sew cases close to the post, upside down.
  • Fixed face edge guide and hardware
  • Bobbins
  • T-wrenches, any size
  • Thread guides
  • Loopers
  • Main take-up spring
  • Main pressure spring and post for top of machine
  • Take-up mechanism parts
  • Pressor foot lift parts
  • Various 4-sided drive screws
  • Bobbin winder assembly
  • Bobbin cover plate
  • Bobbin compartment cover
  • Misc gears
  • 5 and 6 cord, left twist, glazed linen thread
  • Super Cyroxiline (spelling?) clear stitching wax
  • #346 and larger bonded polyester thread, in black, white, brown and natural.

I have an old (1930's) Union Lockstitch machine in need of pressor feet and throat plates. Nobody here appears to have any spare parts, so I am hoping to get some made for a price I can afford.

Are there any members of this forum, who have a Union Lockstitch sewing machine, who are able to fabricate pressor feet for a ULS machine? If so, can you mill them from stainless steel, to avoid discoloring wet leather?

I am looking for various pressor foot types, including left toe, right toe and double split toe. I even need a standard, closed ULS pressor foot, like this one that is on my machine now (but better made):

For throat plates I am looking for plates with raised ends (for holsters and cases), with narrow needle slots (for a number 3 (200) needle and 4 (220) awl and 4 spi maximum), with and without long edge guide slots on the right side. I could also use a throat plate with a 3" long left end - to support heavy work - and long right side slots for my edge guide. Here are samples of long and short throat plates for a ULS machine:

If you, or a friend, can recreate hard steel pressor feet or throat plates for a Union Lockstitch machine, please contact me through the forum links, or by phone, at: 810-422-5301.
