Members badger Posted October 12, 2008 Author Members Report Posted October 12, 2008 Greg, Thanks for the additional info, very interesting. If I can't find an original replacment flywheel and your friend doesn't want to let his go, I'll take your advice and paint up the one that's on there. I've emailed Ivan at Aaron Martin to ask about a stand. I have a small box of bits that came with the machine. There's a roller guide which bolts on to the front, a needle guide too. There are a lot of bolt holes, seemingly for different attachments. What kind of attachments were/are available for the machine? From the picture in my previous post, can you tell if anything is missing from it? Thanks again for your help and your time. Karl Quote
Members torrbuidhe Posted October 12, 2008 Members Report Posted October 12, 2008 I have a photo of a Pearson 6 I found on the web. It has a plain flywheel like yours Badger. The flywheel is painted black, with nickel plate on the rim. As far as the handle goes, I have a Bradbury A1 where the handle has been replaced with the end of an old broom handle Quote
Members badger Posted October 12, 2008 Author Members Report Posted October 12, 2008 Hi, Interesting... Can you post the picture here? Thanks, Karl Quote
Members torrbuidhe Posted October 12, 2008 Members Report Posted October 12, 2008 It's not my photo, I just copied it off the web so I don't want to post it. If you PM me with your email address I'll send it to you though. Quote
Elton Joorisity Posted October 12, 2008 Report Posted October 12, 2008 Karl, my dad took the wax pot off of his machine. I'll see if he is willing to let it go. Quote "If you see your stirrups slap together above the saddle horn, you're probably bucked off" Dave Stamey, The Bronc Ballet
Members badger Posted October 12, 2008 Author Members Report Posted October 12, 2008 Hi. Thank you so much, I appreciate that. Of course I'd be willing to pay a fair price for it. I'm so impressed by the members of this board. So willing to help and share. It's really inspiring. Wish I'd found it earlier..... Cheers, Karl Quote
Members badger Posted October 13, 2008 Author Members Report Posted October 13, 2008 Anther problem I have is that the machine didn't come with a bobbin winder... What do you guys use? I can make something if necessary, but it would be nice to get an original if there are any out there. Cheers, Karl Quote
Elton Joorisity Posted October 13, 2008 Report Posted October 13, 2008 Original bobbin winders seem pretty hard to find. Dad got an original with his machine and it's one of a few that I've actually seen.

Members badger Posted October 13, 2008 Author Members Report Posted October 13, 2008 I'm a fairly handy kind of guy, I'll make one. I have a zerox of an original manual for the Pearson 6. There's a diagram of the bobbin winder. Cheers, Karl Quote
Members DJ1935 Posted October 14, 2008 Members Report Posted October 14, 2008 Congradulations on your purchase! It's great to hear that these amazing machines are still being used around the world. We purchased a complete machine last Christmas, serial No 6892. It came with the winder, needle steadies, edge guide and round rein attatchment.
