Hi  New member to this Forum as of today 

I have just  researched and found  your restoration of the Hugo Wertheim  Boot Patcher  .I have an Identical machine in overall nice condition  .

However it has a few issues   ,The Rack is damaged and broken, the Shuttle drive gear is well worn   and the Shuttle Hook is missing.

I would like to get this machine operating   at some point but  realise parts are scarce 

regards Phil Jenner

Hi sparkey45, that's a nice find, you are right about the parts being scarce, the rack  and gear would not be hard to repair or make, the hook is the hardest, there is a guy on e-bay that I bought my base from worth asking he has other bases so it is possible he

may have an wrecked machine you may get parts from, worth a try. here is the e-bay link,

cheers,

Richard.

Hi  Richard Thanks for the follow up and reply .

  I will contact  the ebay seller and enquire   The gear and rack  really do not pose much problem   

Is 7 teeth  correct for the shuttle  drive gear  .and perhaps its diameter if you have it listed in your notes?

If you had Technical Drawings of the Shuttle  I have a friend  who m is prepared to make it ? 

regards Phil Jenner

Hi Phil, sorry I don't have any drawings of the shuttle, I just made it to suit the carrier, your friend may be able to follow the pics here to get the idea how I made mine, and my carrier has 8 teeth not seven, also the rack looks longer than yours as well, from what I have seen  I think this machines were all made different,

Sorry I can't be more helpful.

cheers 

Richard.
