Landis Regular Lock Stitch Wax Thread Sewing Machine

That's what I was thinking also.

Called Eli today, got a call back pretty quick.He had all my parts needed to get me up and running,cant wait for the order to get here. Now do I keep the foot pedals and base or bench mount it with a variable speed dc motor.Dont really have room for the base. Eli said he would trade parts for my parts off the base if I don't use it, decisions decisions.

I left mine on the factory stand made a speed reducer and a clutch motor. That was 20 years ago. If I were doing it today I would use a servo motor instead if a clutch motor.

I was thinking about a 1 or 1 1/2 hp vdc motor with a foot controlled reostate speed controller.

I've got one too, Bruce. Awesome machine, from what I can tell (I haven't had it long). Ok, I may be slow...but who's Eli? I do need to see about some parts instead of rebuilding what I have. Thanks! John Hanson

Thanks Bruce! Headed to the shop right now to scan that manual for you.

Does anybody have a picture of what the slide should look like without the bobbin in and with it in place..I need to see what the slide looks like as mine had leather pieces in it that are not in good shape and I need to know what they are supposed to look like. Any help would be great, then I can get the machine finished up and maybe running,lol

Hope these help
