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.

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.

I thought the same thing. A MAPP torch and some silver solder from Bunnings plumbing section should do it.

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)!

Have you thought about just making one up out of a bit of stainless?.

I have thought about making one or repairing the broken one, but "buying off the rack" is my preferred option.

Kindest regards

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.
