Moderator Wizcrafts Posted August 23, 2017 Moderator Report Posted August 23, 2017 I didn't expect this hunt for needles to be as difficult as it is turning out to be. I have recently acquired an Adler 30-7, long arm, big bobbin, high lift patcher. I got exactly one pack of System 332 LG #22 needles with it. Since then I have been trying to find a place to order various sizes in 10 packs of leather point (332 LG: L point), to no avail (in the USA). I did find a source for a boxes of 100 (Adler Durkopp Corp), in one size per box, which is way beyond my needs. So, if any of you (in the USA) own an Adler 30-7 or 30-70, where do you currently buy your leather point needles in 10 packs? I am mainly seeking #19 and #23. I would even settle for #20 and #23. I will gladly buy these needles privately is anybody has extra packs to spare. I can PayPal you (verb). Please don't confuse the System 332 LG with just 332. They are radically different lengths.

Members DrmCa Posted August 23, 2017 Members Report Posted August 23, 2017 German Ebay is full of them in 10 packs. If you have anyone who can write German, some sellers may agree to ship to the US. It does not hurt to ask. Some might even read English. US Ebay has 1 listing: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Schmetz-Rundkolbennadel-System-332LL-LG-160-/201465097000?epid=1942962908&hash=item2ee8416b28:g:GZUAAOSw-jhUBsSB Quote Machines: Mitsubishi DB-130 single needle, Kansai Special RX-9803/UTC coverstitch, Union Special 56300F chainstitch, Pfaff 335-17 cylinder arm walking foot, Bonis Type A fur machine, Huji 43-6 patcher, Singer 99 hand cranked, Juki DDL-553 single needle (for sale)

Moderator Wizcrafts Posted August 23, 2017 Author Moderator Report Posted August 23, 2017 I have sent inquiries to the above mentioned companies. I will reveal their replies when they arrive. So far, all I can find are 10 packs in round point. Very few suppliers stock #23 needles in this system.

I got a reply from Shoe Systems and they only carry round point System 332 LG needles.

CowboyBob Posted August 24, 2017 Report Posted August 24, 2017 I found the 332LGLR in sizes 18,2022,23 they should be here in a couple of days. Quote Bob Kovar Toledo Industrial Sewing Machine Sales Ltd. 3631 Marine Rd Toledo,Ohio 43609 1-866-362-7397
Members Black Dogg Posted August 24, 2017 Members Report Posted August 24, 2017 Hi Wiz, give Mr. Lars Bethke at www.altenaehmaschine.de a try. He sells them in ten packs and ships to the US. Look for "Nadeln", the "LL" is the leather point you're looking for. I have ordered from him before (actually had the same problem you're having) and he ships fast and cheap. Best of luck with your machine! Black Dogg Quote Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God!

Did you order round (R) point, or Leather (LL) point 332 LG needles? I need LL, not R. R points tend to stick in veg-tan leather as the friction builds up. Plus, the round holes look horrible in straps.
