Members Constabulary Posted October 31, 2015 Members Report Posted October 31, 2015 (edited) Just found this thing on Ebay. Seems to be a speed reducer with integrated bobbin winder. I never have seen one of these "machines" before - pretty interesting.

Members Constabulary Posted October 31, 2015 Author Members Report Posted October 31, 2015 yeah, probably but I could not resist. I´m just thinking about the the position of it . I actually have no use for it but you never know what it will be good for. These reducer thingies are always good to have.

Members dikman Posted October 31, 2015 Members Report Posted October 31, 2015 I like it, a nice little piece of gear. If the price was right I'd buy it too (just in case? ). Probably worth it just for the pulley stack. Quote Machines wot I have - Singer 51W59; Singer 331K4; Seiko STH-8BLD; Pfaff 335; CB4500. Chinese shoe patcher; Singer 201K (old hand crank)
Members SARK9 Posted October 31, 2015 Members Report Posted October 31, 2015 Nice find! The pulley grooves seem to be for round leather belts, as one might expect. -DC Quote Machines: Juki LU-563, Consew 206-RB5, Singer 20U33, Pfaff 481, Mitsubishi CU-865-22, Consew 29B, Rebadged Juki LU-562, Mitsubishi LS2-180, Seiko SK-6, Juki LG-158-1

I probibly couldn't resist buying it just in case it came in handy one day (I have a hut full of 'just in case' stuff). It also looks nice. Quote “Equality?

Members TinkerTailor Posted November 5, 2015 Members Report Posted November 5, 2015 --looks to me to be table top mounted for an overhead/ wall mounted line shaft arraignment. If it was under table mounted, The bobbin would be in a really hard to get spot, and the logo on it would be facing the floor. Looks like it would be on the table with the bobbin winder on the right. That would put the text the right way up as well. It is really cool. Way nicer than the reducer setup i use to run my antique treadle scrollsaw with an electric motor. love that machine, I have to make my own blades from longer ones to fit though......antique machines grrrr..

Members Constabulary Posted November 5, 2015 Author Members Report Posted November 5, 2015 Haven´t received it yet but it´s for sure table mounted but the longer I look at the the more it confuses me. Must have been for a machine with an off standing balance wheel / pulley or so - maybe for a bar tacker... Don´t know...

Members TinkerTailor Posted November 6, 2015 Members Report Posted November 6, 2015 Or perhaps an off the arm machine for doing boot tops or the like. If it sat to the left of the machine and the operator was at the end of the arm the bobbin winder would be facing the sewer and right under the thread tree.
