itchaguide Report post Posted February 11, 2010 I have a old hand crank sole stitcher that I have had in storage for about 20 years and though I would ask here about finding a needle to replace the broken one on it. The machine only has one marking on it and that is Frobana AG.. it takes a curved closed eye needle and I have been looking anywhere I have seen leather or industrial machines over the years and never had any luck.. Hopefully someone here might have some info on the machine and possible ideas on finding needles. Cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wizcrafts Report post Posted February 12, 2010 Get ahold of Henry Veenhoven, in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. His phone number is 416-231-1870. He may still have needles for the Frobana-Gritzner sole stitchers, for which he was a dealer. He currently sells Junker & Ruh hand operated sole stitchers.

Sebastian Report post Posted July 27, 2010 If this is still valid, I recently bought a bunch of needles for the Frobana machine, if you still need some, let me know. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
