Rockoboy Posted August 5, 2017 Author Report Posted August 5, 2017 I finally managed to get a pic of my broken Take Up Lever for my DT6. If anybody has something like this, or very similar, I am very interested in making a deal. Thank you for looking.

Members gottaknow Posted August 6, 2017 Members Report Posted August 6, 2017 I'll take a look through all the parts I have for these types of machines. Honestly, if it were mine I'd braze it back together since it's a non-stress part. Even silver solder would hold it. I use a 00 or 000 tip for brazing on small parts like this. Regards, Eric Quote
Members dikman Posted August 7, 2017 Members Report Posted August 7, 2017 I thought the same thing. A MAPP torch and some silver solder from Bunnings plumbing section should do it.

Rockoboy Posted August 9, 2017 Author Report Posted August 9, 2017 I am still chasing a Take Up Lever for my chainstitch, feed-off-the-arm machine. Does anybody have one the same as pictured (hopefully not in 2 pieces)!

RockyAussie Posted August 9, 2017 Report Posted August 9, 2017 Have you thought about just making one up out of a bit of stainless?. Quote Wild Harry - Australian made leather goodsYouTube Channel Instagram
Rockoboy Posted August 11, 2017 Author Report Posted August 11, 2017 I have thought about making one or repairing the broken one, but "buying off the rack" is my preferred option.

Members dikman Posted August 11, 2017 Members Report Posted August 11, 2017 Unfortunately, Brian, living in Oz as we do, when it comes to repairing old machines the only two options we sometimes have are the first two. Good luck with your search, though. Quote Machines wot I have - Singer 51W59; Singer 331K4; Seiko STH-8BLD; Pfaff 335; CB4500. Chinese shoe patcher; Singer 201K (old hand crank)
